When did you tell your students? I teach high schoolers and in a few months it won't be hard to tell that I'm pregnant. My students know that I have four children at home and some of the girls have even babysat for the smaller ones.

I have fifth graders. Both times I told them by playing hangman...Mrs. ---- is going to have a baby in April. They loved finding out at way. Then I sent a note hi e to parents about my plans (time off, sub, etc.)

::lurking butting in:: I teach 4th grade and I told the parents on a Thursday via our newsletter and my students the next day by playing Hangman. I was almost 14 weeks.

MamaKoria · March 2013

Seems like telling by playing Hangman is a popular trend!

When I was pregnant, I was teaching middle school. I was about 15 weeks before I said anything to students, and they were already whispering about it behind my back because I was in that "is she getting fat or is she pregnant" phase lol.

Since it

meg_2006 · March 2013

I hit 12 weeks right after school ended, so I didn't get to tell them. By the time fall came most knew when school was starting. If they didn't already, they could tell :

I told my fourth graders on the last day of school. I was just barely in my second tri, so I really didn't have to, but I knew they'd be surprised after summer if I didn't. I showed them a sonogram on the projector, and one or two with younger siblings kn

I teach high school and never made any sort of announcement either time. Eventually it becomes obvious and one bold student will ask.

snowybride08 · March 2013

I teach HS, and eventually I one just asked me. I put it off as long as possible; I think it was around 17 weeks? They suspected far before, though.

iluvmylab · March 2013

I teach high school and told them right before summer break, I was 11 weeks. Some of the girls were already suspicious by then. Plus, I didn't tell my principal until then either.

Mrs JillB · March 2013

I had kind of a weird situation. I was long term subbing for 7th graders that I had taught in 5th grade. They all knew me very well. After I had my nt scan around 12-13 weeks I came in and asked them, "wow, have you noticed how fat I've gotten?" All of th

Soxgirl07 · March 2013

I didn't tell my high schoolers the first time around. It was ridiculously obvious by the time one girl finally asked me- I think I was 28 weeks. They all knew before and would ask me weird pregnancy questions, like, "if I brought coffee in for you, would

LittleFish1 · March 2013

I found out that I was pregnant right before Easter. Told my principal when the schedule for state testing came out so we could figure out how to cover the class if I had a bathroom emergency. Shared with the other teachers in my department after finish

Arcadia1114 · March 2013

I didn't say anything when I left for the summer as I was only 8 weeks and hasn't had an ultrasound yet. I told my principal when we returned to school and talked about where I would get the students before I went out on leave. I played the fun waiting ga

princessvespa1 · March 2013

I teach HS science and I have yet to tell my kids. I'm waiting for the brave one to ask so I can say "NO, why???" and watch their faces. hahaha...JUST KIDDING. No, I just haven't told them yet b/c I don't think it's really necessary.&nbs

Whenigrowup · March 2013

The funniest thing about it happened after I came back from leave. The girls get their growth and development talk in the spring, and I picked up a note from one of them a few days after it that said, "She MUST have! She just had a baby!!" I died.

VeilSdeGTO · March 2013

I actually couldn't tell my students until the administration drafted a letter to the parents. The letter stated when I would go on leave, who the sub was, their qualifications, and when I would return. It also reassured the parents that I would still

zeptattoo · March 2013

I waited until I came back from summer break. By then, I was in the "is she or isn't she?" look phase and I didn't want rumors. I teach HS, so I decided to say something the first day of school.

BUT- I didn't tell them that I w

grr_aargh · March 2013

I didn't.

They figured it out when I was about 12 weeks.

I thought you got your BFP in Jan? Sorry if something happened - congrats on this new pg. With my own personal history of m/c and loss, I waited as long as humanly

Robi1 · April 2013

The school had a note in our March newsletter about my pregnancy - it went out when I was 18 weeks. I never specifically told the kids, in fact, there are probably some kids who still don't know. I don't find it necessary to make a big announcement. I
