I think people definitely suspect. I told a few people but the ones I didn't tell yet might have an idea. I quit smoking a few months ago, I'm wearing everything empire waist since I already have a belly at 9 weeks...only three more weeks until I tell the whole office and then I won't have to hide it anymore!

I just feel weird making an announcement and I am not looking forward to stupid comments and questions. I think that is my main concern.

I hear you. I am NOT looking forward to getting asked how I am feeling every single day. Plus there are a few very, very annoying people that I work with that I know are going to be full of comments.

Its very funny that this was posted! When I was 12 weeks, I told my department and the people on my floor (I work in a nursing home) that I am pg. I am now 16 weeks and people have been doing a double take when they look at me these past few days. One person said to me "OMG Genna, are you pg?" When I said yes she was like "you look it!" I am not into making announcements either, and I also do not want to hear the stupid comments!

UH so not looking forward to that. I am sure people are going to say you looked pregnant but I didn't want to say anything and I bet I could figure who those people will be. Why are people so rude? And women are the rudest!! You would think they would be understanding.

As you can see I am stressing about this.

Re: Anyone at the point where people are wondering at work if you are pregnant??

My belly is HUGE now and it's funny bc some people I guess suspect but don't want to ask just in case...this guy was holding the door for me and I was walking slow and I said "sorry, I walk kinda slow these days" and he was like, oh really - why is that? He wanted me to say IT so he wouldn't feel dumb Chat Icon

I was 21 weeks before I posted some sono pics on FB and work people saw them ... they were completely shocked and all said they had no idea whatsoever!

If they're wondering, they haven't said anything yet. But I'm sure some are wondering why I haven't made it to a happy hour in a while. Chat Icon

I told my supervisor and my immediate coworkers at 12 wks and I don't think they had a clue, but in the room right next to us, some of them found out through word of mouth and some of them last week and this week(wk 19 and 20) just found out...

Re: Anyone at the point where people are wondering at work if you are pregnant??

my entire office knew immediately bc I went through IVF & they knew I was going dealing with that. But brokers & vendors that come in started to ask around 16w when I popped. You could tell I didn't just gain weight in my belly region

Re: Anyone at the point where people are wondering at work if you are pregnant??

I didn't tell most of work till about 18 weeks (except my boss who I told around 13-14 weeks) b/c I didn't want to have to deal with questions and comments and "helpful suggestions" I knew I would be hearing.

No one knew - except one girl who SWORE she probably knew before I did?!Chat Icon I don't know why she thought she did but she said she did.

Everyone else said they had no idea though one woman said she thought maybe I looked a little heavier -she felt bad becasue she thought it was her fault since she is always bringing in cookies and candy. Nice, right? Of course I had told her many times before I was planning on no kids, so she just never went there.

I told my manager at 14 weeks.

Luckily she was on maternity leave until I was 12 weeks so she didn't notice me ducking out for hours at a time for my doctor appts.

But once I told my team, they confessed that they all suspected.

I kinda don't want to open my mouth and when people ask me if I am, I'm just going to say that I got fat lol

I think certain people are starting to suspect it. Only a handful of people know.

Re: Anyone at the point where people are wondering at work if you are pregnant??

I caught a few people staring this week and one person flat out asked me and I lied Chat Icon (bc she has a BIG mouth and I wasnt ready for everyone to find out through rumors). I told just a few close friends at work today.
I feel kind of weird going into my boss' office and just saying like Hi I'm pregnant!

Re: Anyone at the point where people are wondering at work if you are pregnant??

I told a few close coworkers at 8 wks because I was feeling sick at work. Everyone else I told at 13 after my Dr's appt. No one who hasn't heard the news has come up to me and asked. Just within the past few days my belly started popping. Don't worry about what people say. They are going to talk no matter what. As long as you are happy and healthy that is all that matters Chat Icon
