When did you/will you tell work?

I think I'm going to tell my co-workers tomorrow after my NT scan, assuming everything goes well with it.  I think it will be good to tell them, especially since almost all of them are new mothers or have young children so I can get alot of advice, but at the same time I am nervous about it......

    it IS scary to think about . . . . we have "contract talks" at the end of the month for next year (i am a teacher) so i am thinking i will tell then.

    I told my principal and a few close friends at work after my 7 wk u/s. I didn't tell the rest of the school until I was about 16 weeks.

    I told my boss right away, but I also felt I had to explain why I needed all the time off for all of my doc appts. I've been seeing at least three docs this whole pg (and one I see every two weeks). So that is about four appts per month!

    I told my immediate bosses right away, I had so many appointments I had too.  Then I was off for some cramping and very very sick so I sort of had to tell the others, but they knew of my troubles (small office) so I just said we were taking it day by day and it was still very early!

    I only told my first official person, non immediate family or close friend today!

    I told my boss right away. At that job, I was having to stand for 8 hours a day. So I had to tell him I needed to bring a chair.  Plus, he needed to know about my dr. appts.

    Normally I would have waited until I was past 12 weeks.  But with my last m/c, I was waiting....so when I had my d&c, I told my boss.  So this time when I started spotting and I had to leave to go see my dr and have multiple tests done, I told my boss what was going on....that I was worried I was miscarrying again, and had to have tests done.  I would have preferred to wait, but I knew that he'd know since he knew we had a mc back in December.  He was very understanding and I'm glad that I told him.

    I was 13 weeks when I told. I was tired of keeping it a secret and my bloat was about to give me away anyway.
