Pregnant after a Loss

WWPGALD? Anxiety about telling work

We have passed our loss milestone, and have had a successful u/s. I had planned to tell my principal tomorrow, because frankly this is getting hard to cover up. Suddenly this afternoon I thought I felt a little too wet (sorry, tmi), and rushed to the bathroom, already thinking the worst, but there was no blood. Suddenly, I'm freaked out all over again, with no good reason. Meh. I have an appt with my MW tomorrow afternoon. By ovulation (BBT & CM based), I am 10w4, but by u/s I am 11w4d. And by my evening bloat, 16 weeks! WWPGALD? Tell now, later? If so, when? I am not considering announcing to staff or students, just my principal and maybe VP.

Re: WWPGALD? Anxiety about telling work

  • I would be going by the U/S date and telling probably once I hit 2nd tri. U/S due dates are typically more accurate. So I would be assuming I'm almost 12 weeks by your info and telling in another week or two. I know what you mean about the bloat though. I felt like I looked like I either had to take a giant poo or was just fat with DD forever! With this guy I had full on tummy by 15 weeks lol.

  • This time around, i waited until 13 weeks, until after the NT scan.  My first ultrasound at around 8 weeks had looked fine, but i wanted that one last check before actually telling work.  It was very stressful, but i felt much better after i spilled the beans to my boss.

     Good luck!

  • I'm planning on telling my principal soon, since I have to be out for appointments here and there and I want her to know why. But, I also have a good relationship with her. If not, I'd probably wait.
