Hello Ladies,
I'm probably way over thinking this, but here's the deal. This weekend we are heading back to our old stomping grounds, and are excited to tell our friends still in the area that we're expecting. (I'm 12 weeks today).
I planned on telling my boss sometime next week, at 13 weeks. I figured in that time frame it will probably stay off FB, which is what I prefer since I am FB friends with some coworkers.
However, now I am wondering if I should wait to tell my boss another week, after I hear the heart beat. We did see it at 7-8 weeks, and I haven't had any reason to worry, but I guess hearing it makes me feel better. The problem is that's 2 weeks of it potentially getting out there, and potentially getting around work before I tell my boss. Of course I can ask my friends to not say anything yet, and they are mostly guys, so I don't feel they will be as chit chatty but...well you can see where I'm probably over thinking it. Advice/thoughts?
Re: Social media and telling your boss you're pregnant
Thanks girls...part of me just wants to tell everyone! But there's that little voice saying wait a bit longer for work. Of course I'll tell friends no matter what this weekend, since it'll be the only time to tell in person
Has anyone told work earlier, or before they heard the heartbeat?
Wait until you are comfortable. I know it is hard to keep the secret, but you'll feel better if you've done it at a good time. I just told my boss on Monday (11w6d). It was early, but not too early, and I felt pretty comfortable and confident. I had my NT scan yesterday, so I suppose I could have waited another few days, but it just felt right.
You'll figure it out. You definitely want your boss to know before most other people, just so they don't feel slighted. I mean, they are a pretty important part of the office dynamics, you know?!
Good luck!
