When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

Ideally I'd like to tell them in December (after reviews) but I'll be 6+ months. I think I'll be showing by then.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I honestly don't think waiting that long is a good idea esp if you plan on going back after the baby.

I told right away because I work in a small office and wouldn't be able to hide it very well.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

3+ months. They already knew because in my line of work "smoozing with clients" is a once-a-week thing and after not smoking or drinking for a while, they all kinda guessed it.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I plan on telling them next week after my 12 wk appt (which is coincidentally when I can tell you all my name too ). I'm just sick of hiding it, and with all this bloat, I clearly look like I've packed on a few and I'm sick of thinking that everything is looking at me thinking, "wow, she's gotta lay off the ice cream".

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

not telling until 12 wks....my boss knows and has made the past few weeks so much easier, but that's it....

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I told at 14 weeks... I was showing and couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I told around 13 weeks.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

i told work around 10 wks

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I told around 13 weeks. I wouldn't wait that long, especially if you're going back to work. There's no way I'd be able to hide my pregnancy at 6+ months. If I hadn't told, people definitely would've been suspicious by 15 weeks.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I am going to tell next week (after 12wk appointment)

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I told after 3.5 months. I doubt you'll be able to keep it a secret for 6+ months.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

12 weeks, now if you are worried about losing your job i would wait but dont wait too long as employers seem to take offense to it.

Re: When did you tell your work that you were pregnant?

I plan on telling my boss during my weekly meeting with him next week.

ETA: I'll be 13 weeks.

I told at 10 weeks but that was just because school was ending and I wanted to tell them before summer vaca!
