My first day is next Monday and I will be 9 weeks. At what point should I tell my employer?

    Congratulations! It’s common to wait until after the first trimester (around 12 weeks) to inform your workplace, but if pregnancy symptoms affect your job, you might need to share the news earlier.

    Start by telling your direct supervisor, then inform HR to discuss leave and any accommodations. Check your workplace policies and rights for maternity leave and protections.
