WWYD - Nanny called me out!
My Nanny for my DC actually asked DH if I was pregnant today. 
I am BARELY pregnant. Like I am 3 days late and just got a positive test. She said she saw the prenatal vitamins and DH had listed a bunch of names next to the computer and she said she "figured it out".
The BIG problem is, I share my nanny with one of my co-workers. I am panicking that she is going to say something to her...
Should I call my nanny? What do I say? I don't want to come out yet, especially bc I have had a miscarriage in the past... I can't believe this, I really can't.

Re: WWYD - Nanny called me out!
I would tell the nanny it is confidential & mention your history of mcs.
If she does break confidentiality - even with great news, that is something to definitely consider in terms of employing her.
Congrats!

It's up to you. You can always say, "we're trying so I just wanted to start the vitamins"
Ask her not to tell anyone. THis way when you're ready to announce it'll be a few weeks later anyway.
When pple asked me early on I said no b/c we weren't telling anyone till I was 12 weeks and that was only family

Re: WWYD - Nanny called me out!
I would say exactly what you just posted. That you only found out a few days ago and given your history with mc, you would appreciate if she kept this confidential.
Im sure she will understand.

me too. my nanny called me out but not until i was almost 12 wks so it was as big of a deal to me but even then i was annoyed bc if i wanted you to know i was pregnant i would TELL you!
anyway i would call her and make VERY clear to her that she cannot tell a soul and that you need to be very cautious...

My thoughts exactly! She has no right to be snooping around! I'd question that too!!
Congrats on your pregnancy!

Personally, I think pregnancy is a happy thing....she prob is excited for you. It wouldn't offend me in the least.

Is it snooping around if things are left laying out in the open?
I would just ask her not to tell anyone because you want to wait till the 12+ week mark just in case

I guess not, but I think I would still be put off by it a bit.

I was VERY put off by it. She doesn't have the time to do the things we ask her to do (like DC's bottles or the baby's laundry during naptime) but somehow she had the time to see my list of baby names next to the computer and prenatals in my cupboard?
Uggggghhhh.

Re: WWYD - Nanny called me out!
First off, why do you have a nanny that cannot complete her tasks each day? that seems to be a lot more work than help.
I believe when you are a Nanny you should have discretion.
When do you see the nanny yet? I would ask her to please NOT share this information, as it is confidential and personal.
iF she shares it I would fire her.

exactly!
And I agree, just call her and tell her that you don't want anyone to know just yet.

seems to me you are not happy with her, so why don't you let her go, find someone else?
