Has your DH told work the news yet?

INmommy871278 · January 2014

DH is waiting until after the a/s to let work know we are expecting. We announced to family, friends and fb. Any other DH's or SO's waiting to announce at work?

Bri told his direct supervisor and 2 co-workers in his dept. Otherwise he hasn't said anything to HR and doesn't plan on it til April or May.

TwizzyG · January 2014

DH told his work 3 days after I told him...and that was because he had to wait until he saw everyone Monday. Lol. He needed to tell someone though, cause I wouldn't let him tell his family yet (at the time we were waiting until Chrisrmas to tell everyone).

Nope

keshupe29 · January 2014

Husband and I work for the same company just in different locations. So as soon as I told my boss and a few close coworkers it started to spread like wildfire. So he got off easy!

jnnfrrose6 · January 2014

I asked DH the other day if he had told anyone at work and he said no, not really. His work is pretty flexible with his time off, so it's not like he needs to plan for leave or anything. He's also pretty private, so it doesn't surprise me that he hasn't really shared.

LilredmommaC · January 2014

Mine has...yesterday we ate lunch together with his two direct supervisors and one of them asked which month he would be taking off to help with baby! I wanted to hug them. (We don't actually plan on him taking a month but it was still an awesome suggestion!)

Jennik30 · January 2014

SO hasn't said anything at his first job, but everyone at his second job knows and only because I happen to work at the mall as well and news travels fast there. I'm sure that while he hasn't said anything at his first job yet, everyone there knows, because one of the girls that works at our sister store in mall told her mom who works with SO at his first job.

emy730 · January 2014

Yep, he told his boss pretty early because July is a busier season for them, so he needed to let them know that he was going to be gone then.

And after our u/s Tuesday, he put up the photo at his desk so people figured it out.

bullybutt · January 2014

I still haven't told MY work that I'm pregnant yet. I don't know why I'm procrastinating. I guess I'm just hoping that someone calls me out on it and I can go from there. If my relationship with SO wasn't so crappy, I'd probably feel differently. SO is self-employed, so he doesn't need to tell anyone.

starlight0412 · January 2014

Yes. DH couldn't wait to spill the beans. So literally just about everyone knows. When I brought him lunch the other day a couple of his co-workers were like "Hey Momma how are you feeling?" Alittle weird. But since DH is their boss I just smiled and said "Great!".

SummerMomma2Be · January 2014

Mine hasn't said anything although he keeps saying he is going too. He didnt even really tell his friends, only a few of them. Such a guy.

livkight · January 2014

DH's work buddies knew pretty much right away... there's a lot of couples expecting within a month of us, so it's kind of a club now, haha.

hgtvmom · January 2014

DH told his office the day after BFP. He's crazy like that. But his co-workers are not in our social circle, so it wasn't a big deal to me. I also rarely see his co-workers. I saw his boss for the first time at 14 weeks.

AnotherPreggo · January 2014

Yes, his work knows. It was kind of obvious since he has never used a sick day, and suddenly used 2, and came home early 1 day when I was really having a rough time and couldn't take care of DD. I have never met any of his coworkers, he doesn't hang out with any of them outside of work, so it isn't a big deal that they know.

AMcLaws · January 2014

Ha!! About 30 seconds after I POAS!

not literally, but he did tell as soon as he could. He gets really excited

Artistmom30 · January 2014

I swore my DH to secrecy until 13 wks. I know some co-workers know now but I don't know if his boss does. I've been on H to find out about paternity leave. So as soon as he asks about that, I'm sure it will circulate to everyone.

hupp0013 · January 2014

DH told some of his coworkers around New Years. One of them sent home a bottle of non alcoholic wine for me to have on New Year's Eve. It was really nice.

Soon2BMrsN · January 2014

Not yet. Also waiting until after the big u/s.

Myanswer true · January 2014

DH told his workplace around the same time we told everyone else, which was super early. We have been so blessed! One of his coworkers is saving her boys' clothes until we find out what we're having, so between her and my best friend, we should have Sprout's wardrobe, boy or girl!

AutumnBonfire · January 2014

DH wants to wait a while to tell work, so I have no idea when he plans too. Must be nice, I can't hide it anymore.

[Deleted User] · January 2014

He'll tell his boss soon because he'll have to put on his schedule that he can't travel around LO's due date. I don't think he really cares if anyone else knows.

katnipeverclean · January 2014

Ha. DH was too excited and he's terrible at keeping secrets. He told close co workers and boss after our 6 week appointment and then we told everyone around 12 weeks.

My work has known since the begining due to the hyperemesis. I work in an office of 5 folks so it's impossible to hide.

MstoMrstoMom851214 · January 2014

My husband is dying to tell his co-workers. One of the other guys in his office just became a dad, and everyone in the office was so excited about it, they even had bets going on the sex, hair color, weight, etc. He's asked me at least 10 times if he can "tell yet," but I figure we should at least tell his parents and siblings first (my in-laws still don't know). He did tell his boss last week though because he's negotiating a raise so that I can stay home part-time once the baby comes.

knitsandgiggles · January 2014

Nope, DR outed us in a meeting with other managers and his boss where there was discussion of him being gone for 3-6 months. (This was way back when I was 6 weeks along). He said, well I need to think of kitty lady and the kids. Everybody jumped on the plural and he tried to downplay it, but that didn't work. Some others found out at his Christmas work party when I was eating a huge salad with just red onions and ranch, haha.

Quite a few coworkers still don't know yet though

EllaSmella · January 2014

I haven't told my OWN work yet! I have my review next week and am waiting for that, but it's getting tough to hide it (15w on Friday). Oddly, my DH has already told folks at his work, so we're doing it all backwards.

carolinecutie · January 2014

My hubby hasn't told work yet, except one close friend/co-worker.

I told him he needs to tell his supervisor eventually so he can arrange time off after the baby.

But, I haven't even told my work yet, so we've got time, I guess!

Stacy112699 · January 2014

Mine Did So He Can Request To Leave Early For The A/S. Told Last Week.

Sorry For Insane Caps, Mobile Bumping Won't Change

January Bride · January 2014

My DH told his work really early because he said that everyone at work would ask him WHY he had to go to a doctor's appt. I was like - really? Doesn't your work respect your privacy? But he was adamant. Whatever. He said "I sort of told my boss." You SORT OF told them?

I haven't told work yet (am trying to hold off until my A/S, but that may not be possible because my bloat is getting too noticeable), but his work is really cute and they have loaned him books on being a dad.

sunflower717 · January 2014

He outed us the second we found out. He and his coworkers over share. He told one of his coworkers that I had lost my mucous plug last time.......yup.

brittajeanetta · January 2014

Yep told all his coworkers in a section meeting about 20 or so people after both of us told our family, close friends and bosses. I haven't had my section meeting yet so they will all find out next week.

marsalisails · January 2014

my DH probably won't tell anyone until my water breaks. i won't even tell my job until it's so obvious that people feel comfortable just asking me. i had to tell too early last time (HR outted me "accidentally"), and i ended up having a mmc, so i feel like i get a pass this time. I have my NT scan tomorrow, so i MAY tell my dad and his wife (or i may just wait until i see him next time to surprise him with a big bump!) - he was so heartbroken about what happened to us last time, that i know he won't mind being told later once we're as sure as we can be! My mom is the only one that knows, but she takes care of DS so i see her every weekday.

alyssa719 · January 2014

Yeap. I was really surprised since DH switched companies recently, and his old company he barely told some of the people when we got engaged. I think he's super excited, and this is why.

I don't think he needs to tell them 6 months in advance to take a week off to be with us.

Pinksundrops · January 2014

They were the first people who knew! I didn't show up to a holiday event and they all wanted to know why, so he told them. Kinda funny but I was also a little mad at first, then realized they don't know anybody I know except for DH so it was ok.

abchittam · January 2014

He told them the day we found out, partly to get off work for the initial appointment and partly to "get it out of his system" since we weren't telling everyone yet.

clk723 · January 2014

DH called a meeting to tell everyone in his department a few weeks ago. Word is starting to spread elsewhere in his company and he keeps coming home with new advice for me. It's kind of funny.

Erin1510 · January 2014

My husband has told his command as well as the other people he directly works with. He has to travel often so he wanted it out way in advance that he'll be unable to travel in July and will be taking leave afterwards. Good thing too because 4 other spouses are pregnant and we're all due within a few weeks of each other. It's going to be harder for him to take extended leave that way, but he should be able to take about 2 weeks with no problems.

kmawb · January 2014

DH and I work at the same company (different departments, different floors of the building, no common co-workers). I told my supervisor and team lead last Friday and DH told his team lead earlier this week along with a few other co-workers.

ashcross · January 2014

My DH has told his work but that's because of the nature of his job. His schedule is made months in advance based on what rotations he is doing so he must let them know so there is always someone doing rounds.

b55c · January 2014

dh sucks at announcing things like this. so i know he hasn't told his part-time job but they're good with last minute stuff so we can wait and he'll just take a week off after baby comes. he's also a musician and he is actually planning ahead a bit and blocking out some weeks over the summer. i should be grateful but i don't want too much time before baby comes-he'll drive me bonkers!
