Hi Everyone! I'm just at 11 weeks now and I'm finding that I'm totally exhausted every day. I'm afraid that it's affecting my work. I'm also definitely starting to show and I'm getting worried someone is going to call me out before I'm ready to tell my boss! Has anyone else told their boss that their pregnant yet?
Re: Has anyone told their boss yet?
havent worked together for long and I'm on a trial in a new role.
He's got kids but doesnt do personal stuff well.
we've recently started a massive project too.
first thing he said congratulations.
he was absolutely fine.
Knows I work hard and will still put in 110 and not take a lend.
really pleased I told him :0
I told my boss when I needed to request off the day for our second appointment at 11 weeks. Probably told her around the 8 week mark. We had just started at this store ( wal-mart) and found out maybe two days before our interview we where pregnant, ( me and my former partner). She said congratulations but did ask if we knew before hand... I said no
I told my boss due to the sickness and me not being able to do my job to the best of my ability like I was doing. We have a good relationship so she was excited for me.
Yes, I'm 11 1/2 weeks and I told my boss last week. I've been exhausted lately and wanted her to know why I've been taking some leave almost everyday at lunch. The good news was she was thrilled! And told me to take whatever time I needed. Even told me if I needed to, she'd be okay with me going to the nurse to take a nap!
I knew she'd take it well - but it helped that I had a plan for when I will be out in January. Telling her I thought so and so could habdle this project while I was gone, and that I had plans to start training others... I think it made her feel like it wasn't going to be such a disaster to lose me for a couple months and certainly made me look good for thinking ahead.
Good luck!

This was only a temporary job anyway and I haven't been here long....part time.

I am a CNA and my boss hates me, why I don't know. But what I did because no one can keep a secret in my job is I told about 3-4 people and it spread like wildfire. I knew it would only be a matter of time before it got to my boss and that way I didn't have to tell her she found out threw the grapevine lol. Now everyone knows and has been really good about it. Now my boss is the type of person looking for any excuses to get rid of me but it is against the law for her to fire me because I am pregnant and she knows that if she did fire me now she would have a lawsuit on her hands that's why I think she hasn't approached me about it at all. I would suggest just letting them know at the end of your first trimester if you get along great with your boss or not because as pregnant women we are protected by the law.
