Help telling my boss...

edited December 2013 in Success after IF

So I still have not told my boss.  I look pregnant to the point strangers regularly make comments (i.e. is it a boy or girl, let the pregnant lady have the seat, etc.).  My paralegal told me last week I needed to tell him because "it is obvious."  I was going to tell him a week or two ago, but he has been out of the office.  This is the first day in awhile we have both been in the office so I feel like I need to take the leap.  Also, I caught him staring at my belly today so I think he may either suspect or think I am getting fat.

Any suggestions on how to make this as pain free as possible?

The main reason I am so scared is because I had such a difficult pregnancy last time and got pulled from working with no notice...

Edit; told the boss. Went fine.

    If he did, he didn't say anything.

    Eh I had your situation pretty much. I say just go tell them! The only thing I left off This time is mentioning I was high risk, the high bp etc bc as soon as I told my boss he asked... How long are you taking? And asked if I was having issues since I made the mistake of waiting and people at work started talking about how usually If pregnancy is bad first round it'll happen sooner so had to nip that in the butt. I feel like less is more and only tell other info when it could impact work. I just don't trust companies.
