Those who haven't announced to coworkers

Do you think any of them know what's up? I seriously get up once an hour to pee. It's super annoying. I can't even make it through a meeting... Plus I have had some treats lately which I never do... Anyone else worried its out of the bag because of your actions?

  • Not my actions so much as the little bloated pooch that shows up in the afternoon. I've caught a couple glances. Must wear baggier tops!

  • With every pregnancy announcement I've made I've received a lot of "oh that makes sense" responses, lol. 

    I'm sure people may notice something is up but most people are respectful enough to wait for you to share your news.

  • I've only told my supervisor because I've had to call out sick twice already. She was very happy for me. Now, I've yet to tell my other coworkers but I'm 90% certain they've guessed what's up. So my trick so far, has been to put on makeup every.morning

  • I announced mine to my coworker at 8 weeks because we were sharing our plans for scheduling in the fall, and I felt bad saying I would do something that I wasn't going to.

  • I've been lucky enough to not have morning sickness and I'm chubby enough that I don't think anyone notices my bloat, so I figure I've got a while until anyone would be suspicious. Now with DD, I was new at my job and very nervous about telling so I didn'

  • My coworker definitely thinks something is up. I had a coke at a happy hour and tried to play it off like I was on medication. I don't think she bought it.

  • My supervisor is the only one who knows. I've been drinking reduced caffeine for awhile now, and lucky for me the only planned happy hour was canceled, so I don't think anyone suspects.

  • I don't think my behavior has been much different although on Fridays a group of us take a train to work and on the way home we usually split a bottle of wine so I have been driving more and coming up with excuses to not have wine. Other than that, I am l

  • I'm sure some of my co-workers suspect because I'm taking days off to go to the doc, but it's the saltines, constant yawning and baggy shirts that are probably selling me out!  I'm not too worried about them wondering.  If they ask me if I am, I

  • I'm sure they won't be surprised. I have one really good friend there, and we aren't all that secretive when we talk. I'm sure we're not as sly as we think we are haha. My behavior isn't all that different, but I've almost accidentally spilled the beans s

  • Everyone at work has been asking if I was pregnant since way before I actually was.  It got really bad after I fainted a couple times even though I wasn't pregnant at the time. I am sure everyone will be like "I knew it" even if they really didn't

  • i told the one coworker I share an office with, because I had to explain why I was being such a half-a$$ slacker since I've been so sick. No one else sees me on a regular basis enough to notice anything weird.
