Telling work?

Kfran84Kfran84 member
in November 2013 Moms
Has anyone told work yet, beside those in hazardous industries who had to tell right away?

I am simultaneously really excited and really scared to share the news. I'll be going on mat leave right when this huge new software program rolls out. Not the best timing! Oh well. Other than that, I'm excited to share.

How do I start this convo when I'm ready?

    I have not. I was going to tell yesterday, but chickened out since it was over the phone.  November is down time for me so it's the ideal time to have a baby. I just have to make sure my boss knows I'll still be in to run payroll while I'm on leave a

    I told my boss, but only him.  I'm his assistant.. so if there were frequent bathroom trips, or if I wasn't feeling well in general, I wanted him to understand.  I'm going to wait until closer to 12 weeks to tell the rest of the office.

    My boss knew I was going through IF treatments b/c I had so many appointments - I had to tell her.  So, when it worked, I only thought it fair to tell her I'd actually gotten pregnant!  I told my coworkers this week.

    I haven't told work yet. Since I had a previous m/c I'm waiting (although I didn't tell them until after the m/c last time either). In terms of how to tell them- I think it depends on your work. I have to tell people in a certain order to make sure I foll

    I told my boss, but through email. He was super supportive of my first, so I thought it on fair to tell him. Plus, I need to leave for appointments from time to time and I would rather him know the reason.

    I've only told my boss. He's like a brother to me, so it was easy. I'm not telling anyone else until after I tell my family, though.

    I have zero intention of telling anyone at work. I'll tell my boss after first tri. Everyone else I won't say anything to until they call me out on my growing bump.

    Haven't told anyone yet, but my boss will probably find out sooner rather than later if I continue feeling like this.  I'd like to say I'll hold out until 12 weeks for everyone else but we are a tiny office and I know they are already getting suspici

    I told my boss and two co-workers soon after. After my appointment next week I'm going to quit wearing really loose clothing and wearing my regular clothes. If my bloat keeps up they will all figure it out by the end of the day. Well if two people figu

    I told my boss this week. My tummy was bloated from the IVF treatments and normal early pregnancy that I am having trouble hiding it. I am also carrying twins and figuring I will be showing early. I also have been very tired and going through morning s

    As soon as we started the procedure, I told three co-workers who were my support during years of infertility and pg loss.  I'll tell the bosses once HB is detected at 6w.  I'll casually introduce it into conversationfor the rest of the team betw
