When will you tell work?

I will be about 8 weeks when I tell my boss/coworkers. First time around I told a coworker right away (I was about 5 weeks when I found out) and I felt pressure from her to tell my boss. This time I am waiting a little longer before anyone finds out.

My boss knows but I plan on telling the whole team around the end of August.

My job requires travel, and I cannot fly while pregnant so I told my boss right away. She was excited for us, and there are no issues.

Apparently there are a fair number of teachers here - love it! Anyway, I'm teaching summer school so I could do it now but we are getting a new admin in August so I think I will wait until I meet the new person. So probably mid to late September.

Hi all! I'm a certified PHR. Please do not say anything during the hiring process. Trust me they do not want to know.

My boss figured it out haha and she was totally fine with it! The first clue was I announced our engagement to her and she gave me a look about our short engagement (October 4, 2014). Then we had a company dinner the other night and she asked what kind of wine I wanted and I told her I wasn't drinking that night and she just smiled at me and said, "I've figured it out, you know!" And I just started laughing! But I didn't really plan on spilling the beans until second trimester.

I also work in a school as a School Counselor. I plan on telling my principal after the NT Scan. I did the same last time although it was a little different bc he was new to the school and I wanted to establish myself as a good employee first.

I didn't tell the students but one of them asked me around 16 weeks and I told them yes.

I haven't told my principal yet as she is on maternity leave until the 18th of August. I told the teacher across the hall from me (teaching summer school), but that was because she would be the one to cover for me if I have to run to the bathroom. One of the students asked me today, and I did tell the class.

I am going to try to wait until 15 weeks, unless I am showing...

I'm a teacher, so I don't go back to work until the beginning of August. With all of my absences at the end of last year with an IUI, my principal knows I was trying IVF over the summer. Administration has been super supportive so I think I'm telling them during pre-planning.

I'm going to tell them once I hit second tri because they will need to create a temporary position and hire someone for my rotation.

I had this same situation when I had my DD. I found out I was pregnant the day before or the day after I got offered the job. I told them my first day. I wanted them to know that I was committed to doing my job.

I wish I would have waited a bit longer. I was naive about miscarriages. I was lucky and grateful that I didn't have one. Now if I was in the situation I would wait until at least 12 weeks, unless it was effecting my work (morning sickness or appointments).

I actually already said something. I'm a CPA and we are a small firm so me being gone for half of tax season is a big deal and they'll need to plan for appropriate staffing. I had my annual review last week and let my bosses know. It was no big deal, but I'm also at a very family oriented company. I'm pretty lucky in that.
