Re: Telling your insurance/job
I plan on telling my manager the week of my first appointment (June 3). A week after my appointment, he's actually gone for his wedding/honeymoon for the 3 weeks following, so by the time he's back (mid-July)... I'll probably be showing so that will make him wonder. I remember him asking me about kids IMMEDIATELY after we got married (1.5 years ago), ha.
He's very lenient with scheduling appointments, leaving early for things, etc. so it won't be an issue for when my appointments are. Plus, I rarely miss work compared to some of my peers, so he knows he has nothing to worry about with me missing any time.

I told my boss once symptoms started affecting my job performance and I started to refuse to travel to FL due to Zika. He was great and gave me a hug. Every work situation is different too.

I told a few coworkers early on because I've been sick, but told my Principal this past week. I had planned to wait until the last week of school, but it just kinda came out in a lull in our conversation lol.
I had to tell my boss just before my first appointment because I had MS from hell (turns out it was a stomach virus on top of everything). He's so super supportive about everything. Deadline for all my work is end of business day, unless he needs it at a specific time, and I can take as much time as I need for appointments. Since I work from home I can hide this as long as I want, but I did tell my counterpart because we did work together before moving to home offices and she knows how long we've been TTC. I also told my team lead that reports to us and works in the main office, just in case I need him to step in if I can't. I'll have to talk to my HR about maternity leave.

Did you have a job that the requirements were not able to be met while pregnant?
eta: unless a company of 15 or less. Sad.

I spent the next 1.5 years working with an attorney and was able to at least get unemployment that my former employer fought, and filed a claim with the EEOC, but decided not to move forward with the lawsuit because it would have taken another 2 years and I just didn't have it in me emotionally at that point.
