When will you tell work

I want to tell them the end of first trimester.

A situation came up yesterday where they are asking people to donate their vacation time to a coworker that lost some family members. I hate to be the only person not to donate time, but I need it for maternity leave.

I would prefer to wait until the end of first trimester and the end of the school year, but I feel like I probably need to tell around 8 weeks at the end of this month because of the fact that we have to pack up our entire school campus before the end of the year due to renovations.

I'm going to wait as long as possible. It's going to be hard, though, because we're friends.

That definitely would have been an awkward position to be in. :-/

I'm definitely not saying anything until the 2nd tri, and even then, I want to push it as far as I can.

I'm going to try to wait until I'm 12 weeks. One of my coworkers is about to have a baby, so I'm trying to let her have all the attention for as long as I can.

Last week, my manager in my office asked me how I was doing and I said I was tired. He told me to go home then. I called H to tell him I was coming home and he said, "well tell C that you're pregnant and you're not just slacking." So my one manager knows. I support another in a different state and my technical boss is in another state. I won't tell those people until after I'm in my 2nd tri.

I wanted to wait until 2nd Tri, but I'm going to be in a situation where I'm expected to ride ATVs with a client in a few weeks (along with a few other things you can't do while pg), so I have to spill the beans MUCH earlier than expected. I work in a very small company, so once 1 person knows, they will all know!

Until I can't hide it anymore. I'm hoping I'm still small in June so I can tell her 1:1 (we don't work at the same site) but I may have to tell her over the phone, sooner, depending on when I start to pop (I am pretty skinny so I wonder if it will be noticable on me?)

Pretty much this.

cmenasco · April 2010

I wanted to wait until at least the 2nd tri, but I have a feeling that I am going to have to tell them early. We have things at work that I can't be around (x-rays, anesthesia) so might have to tell them next week why I can't help out with those things.

I plan on telling my principal and vice principal after my first OB visit on 4/13 because I often help on almost a daily basis with physically out of control students at times need "hands on" help to ensure the safety others around them. I am on Spring Break this week, but am very nervous about the first 2 days back to school so is DH after Spring Break. It's often hard to get back into the swing of things for our challenging students. What excuse can I use??

I work in a very small office. Only my boss and I work in the office. The other few employees are project managers for different grant projects and are always either out in the field or work from home.

My boss is pregnant and due May 15th. I don't plan on telling her until she is back from her maternity leave. I don't want her to worry about anything while she's at home with her little one. And she didn't tell me until she was past 20 weeks (and she was just starting to show then!)

maybe I am paranoid but I already think they have an inkling.. I am planning on telling at the 2nd trimester though.

AndysGrl08 · April 2010

I told my manager already, as well as my mentor and a good friend, but the rest of the office won't know until after 12 weeks.
