I am suppose to go on Active duty orders on the 26th. I am in the Army Reserves. Should I tell my military chain of command that I am pregnant?? I am afraid that they will not want me to travel with them. I am staying in the U.S. just going from FL to GA. I also do not want to hear the OMG. Since I have a 4 month old as well.

    Yes - you need to tell your chain of command.  You never know what they will want you to do that could jeopardize your LO.  If they freak out oh well.

    Your pregnancy affects your unit's readiness and training.  You need to tell them ASAP and start the counseling process.

    You need to tell them. You don't want to be in a position where you have to choose between telling at an inconvenient time and doing something that will jeopardize your LO. They need to know if you have any restrictions on your PT, duty, etc.

    Your unit needs to be aware and your MEDPROS updated accordingly. As a PP mentioned, your pregnancy affects your unit's readiness and the commander has right to know. You will need to be on a pregnancy profile for any training time that you have.
