Re: How do u tell yr Boss?

I told my bosses at 10 weeks that I was pg. I wanted to wait till 12 weeks but my m/s was really bad. I told them by handing them each a sonogram picture in an envelope after saying "I just wanted you to know that I will be taking on a new job Dec.1" The look on there faces were priceless Chat Icon Then they opened the envelopes and were jumping up and down. I then reassured them that I was coming back Chat Icon I didnt tell anybody else at work until after my 12 week appointment. My bosses promised to keep it a secret!

Re: How do u tell yr Boss?

I told at 7 weeks the first time (m/c'd) and 6 weeks because of scheduling reasons...I just popped by and told them. I was so scared.

Re: How do u tell yr Boss?

I told my boss at 8 weeks because I had a few appointments and I didn't want him to think I was looking for another job! I just felt like I was out a lot- I was intending to wait until 13 weeks however.

6 months might be pushing it a little bit, because it's likely you would be showing by then... BUT if you feel more comfortable in waiting to tell your employer/boss about your pregnancy, than by all means I think that is your preogative!

I will give you a different perspective from someone who "waited" to tell my employer I was PG. I was about 4 months/16 weeks along when I told my supervisor, and even then I asked her to keep my news confidential until I was ready to tell my direct boss (who I am close with and I've worked with for 11 years) myself. My reasons for waiting was mainly because of my previous miscarriage history, and overall I was generally reluctant to share my news until I was sure all was ok.

My boss has been away on/off for 2 months and I actually just told him and my other co-workers YESTERDAY that I was pregnant! I am currently 5 months/21 weeks Chat Icon

So really, it's whatever works for you and my firm/boss was perfectly cool with me waiting to spill the beans. My job is still secure, they still have plenty of time to figure out who will replace me on maternity leave, and I feel more content in sharing this news now.

Good luck!

Re: How do u tell yr Boss?

It is interesting that you pose this question. I was thinking today how so many people assumed we were either going to TTC immediately or within a year of our marriage. I know that in certain workplaces, it is illegal to ask a prospective employee if they have children or even if the INTEND to have children. But I am wondering if there are any legal obligations to tell an employer that you are pregnant or is it simply considered "the right thing to do" in order to be in your employer's good graces. Or even to make sure your position is secure and/or has the right coverage while on leave. any thoughts?
