Did anyone wait past 12 weeks before telling work?

For some reason my DH thinks i should longer than the 12 weeks. Just wondering if anyone else waited longer, and why?

The longest i'll probably wait is 13-14 weeks, just to get test results back.

I waited until about 16/17 weeks (I think I was 16w5d) to tell work. I was going to push it until 20 but I the cleaning lady asked me if I was preggo so I went right into my boss's office and came out.

I didn't really have a reason to wait that long...just wanted to keep it private as long as I could.

Tell when you are ready

Re: Did anyone wait past 12 weeks before telling work?

I am waiting. I'm 13 1/2 weeks right now and I'm probably going to tell them the day before Thanksgiving. I don't have a reason.....just wanting to keep it private for the time being. I haven't really popped yet or gained weight so I don't think anyone is suspicious.

I agree with MamaPapaBear - tell when you are ready.

I was 13 weeks. My 12 week ultrascreen was when I was like 12 weeks 3 days so monday back at work I was 12 week 6 days. I chickened out that day so I spilled the day after that.

I am planning to wait until I clear the first trimester - so I plan to tell my manager around 14 weeks.

If she starts to look at me suspiciously, then I will tell her sooner.

With my first I waited until 14/15 weeks to tell my manager.

I think i was 16 weeks...I'm a teacher, so I waited until I started going back end of August to get my room set up...a couple of close coworkers knew, and I wanted the principal to hear from me prior to the school year starting and everybody knowing.

Re: Did anyone wait past 12 weeks before telling work?

I’m prob going to wait until I start to show. I am really, really afraid to tell my boss. I work in two girl office, but they let the other girl go in May, so it’s just been me. He made a comment the other day that he wants to keep it a one girl office for as long as we can. So, when I tell him, I know he’s going to freak that we have to hire someone else, etc…

I'm going to wait until I start to show.

I'm mostly just waiting until we are out of the first trimester, plus I am dreading telling the office in general.

Re: Did anyone wait past 12 weeks before telling work?

I waited until I thought I was starting to show so I didn't do it until I was almost 18 weeks.

Don't feel like you have to rush. Let them know when you're ready and comfortable.

I told at 13 weeks. I wanted to make sure my grandmother was the first to know as far as extended family and friends. We told her after my 12 week ultrasound and then I told work after that.

With both I told around 12-13 weeks. I was just tired of being secretive with everyone. Wait as long as you feel comfortable, there's no requirement.
