When did you/will you tell work...

that you are pregnant?

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I plan on telling today actually

Wish me luck! I work w/ mostly men, and I think they know b/c lately they keep making jokes about me "eating for two" now.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

8 wks, only because i was throwing up throughout the day and people were starting to talk. I don't exactly look like I'm bulimic...

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I told them at 8 weeks (when we got back from christmas break). There was no hiding it... the nausea was horrible, I wasn't eating how I normally eat and I was exhausted. They would've figured it out. I'm really close with my coworkers so I had no problem telling them that early.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I work with mostly men, with my sister and for my dad, so many of them knew already.

Yesterday I told my office mate- who had already figured it out, and the rest of the women in the office, which some had figured it out...lol

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

i told my direct supervisor at 8 weeks. I didn't know if i'd have m/s and didn't want him to think i was just being weird if i had to run out of a meeting, etc...

I came out to everyone else at 12 weeks.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

With my first child, I waited 12 weeks but with this second one, I had no choice but to tell at 10 weeks---I was showing---big time!

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I told my job at 6 weeks after my RE confirmed it. My boss knew I was going through IVF so she kept asking. If I were to get PG naturally next time I'll tell her right away also. I'm very close to her.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I told the 2 people I am close to at 8 weeks , everyone else ( including my boss ) 12 weeks, and I am still telling random people I work with ( I work in a big place)

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

At around 12 weeks. Though one of my supervisors new early on, since I was so sick. I needed to tell someone. The men didn't catch on.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I am 14 weeks and I haven't said a word. I don't think anyone has any idea. I'm not showing, I didn't have m/s, I just look sleepy. I might tell them next week. We'll see....

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I forget the exact week but it was after my 20 week ultrasound. I think I was 21-22 weeks. I wasn't showing yet and my boss was so surprised.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I wanted to wait until 12 weeks, but I told a few close co-workers at 8 weeks because it was hard to hide the m/s. I told my boss at 10 weeks because I've already popped.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I told my 2 bosses at 12 weeks, my good friend at work right away and I've been telling everyone else as it becomes appropriate topic of conversation...It's not a secret but I'm not the type to send an email blast or even bring it up for water cooler talk KWIM?

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I officially announced at work at 12 weeks. By 11 weeks, I stopped trying to hide it. It just wasn't worth the effort.

I told my manager firsth though before everyone else because I wasn't feeling well, I was exhausted, and couldn't get to work on time in the morning. The guilt of that alone was stressing me out.

But after I told him, I felt so much better. And for him, looking back, everything I had been doing made so much sense to him!

The VP of our group said he knew about 3 weeks before I announced. Honestly though, anyone who was even paying half-attention could have figured it out.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I told my boss right away when i was 5 weeks, reason being is that im a high risk pregnancy and i wanted her to be aware. Just in case i was going to go on bedrest and poof!! i went on bed rest!!

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I told them around 11 weeks. My boss already suspected becasue of how sick I was.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

My office knew almost immediately since I had to take time off for IVF. They all knew when I was going for my results. I found it easier to tell them early on...

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

IM going on 6 weeks and i told my boss. only b/c i need to take days off for appointments and if i start taking too many personal days he will complain. i live in pa, work in nY so most of the time getting an evening appt or weekend is not an option. I figured i should tell him so he knows why i ask for personal days over the next few weeks.

he has been sworn to secrecy..LOL.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I was 7 weeks when I had to tell my boss since I wound up in the hospital.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

@ 14 weeks.... I still wasn't showing, had no m/s and hid it pretty well.

1 girl told me only today that she knew for about 2 months.....b/c of my boobs and how big they were looking...hehehe

um OK - that's fine with me - glad to have noticable boobs now :)

good luck to you when you decide to spill the beans!! It's really exciting....

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

With DS I told at 12 weeks. This time, I don't know. I'm at a different job and my boss has good days and bad. I never know her mood. One of my co-workers knows but that's it for now. It's going to be hard though because I feel like I am showing already but luckily, I'm big to begin with so maybe everyone thinks I'm just gaining weight. I'd like to try to wait until 12 weeks again.

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

i've already had a couple people ask me if i was since i've gained weight...unfortunately i just gained a bunch of weight after the wedding...so i just look at them funny laugh and walk away...i don't want to say yes...but i don't want to say no either...

Re: When did you/will you tell work...

I told most people around 6 weeks - I am a teacher and you know how it works.... you tell ONE person and the whole dang building knows by the end of the day!
