Pregnant after a Loss

why can't i make up my mind when to tell work? (long)

i keep going back and forth.  i'd originally wanted to wait til t-day which i have. thought i'd be showing a bit by now though & i'm not.  on the 17th i go on vacay for 12 days so i have to tell my boss b4 then.  i work in an office & don't need to tell her for safety or anything (obviously) i just think it's kinda crappy to tell her on the 17th when i have a 1/2 day and then just take off for almost 2 weeks.  of course there's nothing saying i can't do that. 

 i guess just b/c she's been annoying the crap out of me since i found out i was pg, i'd like to tell her on a day when she's not annoying me & she's in a good mood.  which so far is today.  dh says to wait b/c why not.

u can see by my ticker how far i am.  i just don't know why i can't make a darn decision.  when to tell...  plus this week is really busy for us b/c we are working on nov's month end close.  but it's not that big of a deal. 

plus i've had to catch myself several times from slipping up & it'd be nice to not worry about it.  but i also know how caddy the other women (not my boss) are & it will annoy me that they are talking about me when i'm gone.  i guess i don't really care if they do but it still bugs me.

Okay, now I'm annoying myself.

  • I say just do it :)  You'll  feel better to have it out of the way! GL!

  • I would just do it if I was 15 weeks.  GL with whatever you decide ;)

  • I agree! Just do it and get it over with. You'll feel much better.
  • I keep going back and forth on this too.  But, I say just go for it now!
  • Is there anything big you will accomplish in the next few days weeks?  If you can catch your boss in a good mood after you've done something worthy of praise, it seems like that might be the perfect opportunity.  FWIW, I told my boss at 16 weeks and the rest of my staff at 17...it hasn't changed anything.
  • Why not just tell and then you won't have to stress about telling. I think you will feel better about it also.
  • Personally, I'd wait until after your vacation. But, it really depends on your boss and how you think she would react. My boss was super cool and encouraging, and even encouraged me to take a day off a couple of months ago for our last "baby moon" trip. Of course, that was one day, not 12, so I'm not sure how she would have felt about that.
  • I say just do it.  I did it on a whim one day and am SO glad I did!
