So I will be 16 weeks on Friday...
And I still haven't told my boss that I am pregnant.
I am really nervous to say anything because she actually took one of my responsibilities away because I "might" get pregnant, and she has made some negative comments to me about others who have taken sick time, etc.
I'm scared...

Don't be scared - you didn't do anything wrong - and she can't legally take anything away from you because you're pregnant !! - Do you have an HR department? I'd suggest discussing things with them before telling your boss ..........it may help.

What she did is illegal, she can't take responsibilies away because you might get pregnant, or because you are pregnant. I agree with the others, talk to HR firs.

I know I won't be fired, but I know I will be "talked about" behind my back.

I know that feeling-- while I left my full time job almost a year ago... Now, I work freelance... I felt that that would be the case when I got pregnant. People do talk about you if you have kids and "need to leave at 5". It's disgusting..
Just bite the bullet and do it when you are ready.
