How did you tell your coworkers?

I am 18 weeks, and I think they all have pretty much figured it out, but I haven't said anything yet. I figured I would tell my boss first, but I don't usually see him during the day. How do you bring this up?

Re: How did you tell your coworkers?

I said, do you want to see a new picture? And called them over to my desk. One coworker said, "You're not going to show us a sonogram are you?" I replied YEP!

Similar to above post...

My old boss went around showing a sonogram pic to everyone, it was really sweet.

After I told my managers, I just nonchalantly went back to my cubicle and said "Oh I just told J&T that I was pregnant, they were so happy for me!" and screaming ensued Chat Icon

Re: How did you tell your coworkers?

We told my manager and director because we had to get in our vacation requests for 2010 in December. We told them we didn't know what our vacation was going to be because we were having a baby.

For the majority of my co-workers we put it up on facebook and let the rumors fly! The people who work here love rumors. Chat Icon

Re: How did you tell your coworkers?

My coworkers just knew because I stopped drinking my 3 cups of coffee per day and started drinking a lot more water. They finally called me out on it at 8 weeks and I broke down and confessed Chat Icon

A friend of mine did what one PP did and showed her coworkers a sonogram pic.

For those I like (including boss) I went into their offices separately and just said..."So there's going to be a new (company name) baby soon!" They've all seen me go through dating DH for a long time, to getting engaged, planning a destiantion wedding etc., so they were really excited. Chat Icon

For the rest of the floor I just let the word spread.

Not sure yet- Haven't told them yet.
I have no desire to either.

I'm really funny about this.
I am SO private about this that I dont' want anyone to know and I feel really uncomfortable about it.

Same here. I think I am going to say something at the end of this week though because one of my bosses basically called me out yesterday. I didn't want to say yes or no, so my response was "You're crazy!" But now I feel bad that I kind of denied it, so I am going to tell them this week. Not doing anything cute though, just telling.

I am the same way. I am an independent contractor so I honestly don't know how well this is going to go over. There are a few girls I work with that I know will be excited but I am very scared to tell my agency.
I am probably not going to say a word until someone actually calls me on it!!!
