When did you tell work you were expecting?

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

Today! I will be 19 weeks tomorrow. Then again I don't have a typical job...just clients that I needed to tell. But I informed my agencies I work for today!

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I think I told my boss around 22 weeks.

I remember I had already found out the sex of the baby. I wasn't really showing until maybe 26 weeks so I could have gone a few more weeks without telling him.

Everyone was so shocked that I was pregnant. No one had a clue. I work with all men though.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

somewhere between 13 and 14 weeks.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I am sure I will be showing early (2nd pregnancy)....I will try to hold out until 12 weeks

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

early...about 8 weeks, after seeing/hearing the heartbeats at 2 appts. i work in a very small office and i wanted to be as fair as possible to my boss because I really like him.

plus, i've been so sick, so there's really no concealing it. they probably would've assumed i was bulimic had i not told them i was pg!

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

10 weeks...after I HEARD a heartbeat with a doppler.

I wanted to wait until 12... but "rumors" started to spread and I wanted to be sure my boss heard it from me..

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

My boss already knows because he's my dad

Everyone else can wait until I feel comfortable telling them.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I told the ones that I am close with right away and slowly but shortly now it is coming out to everyone and I am 17 weeks

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

About 12 weeks. They all suspected because I was so sick. Me running green faced to the bathroom & coming back to ginger ale & crackers was probably a give-away.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I told my direct manager and 3 close friends at 7 weeks. (just in case i had any m/s issues, i wanted him to know i wasn't just running out of a meeting because it was boring)...

Everyone else at work (including 2 other managers) found out via email at 12 weeks.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

Told my direct boss pretty early, at 9 weeks. Wanted to let him know if I had to run out of a meeting, etc. Also told our department head in a 1:1 meeting with him at 10 weeks. Everyone else found out at 12 weeks after our sono.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

13 weeks -

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I told my boss right away. It kinda just blurted out. I thought I was going to wait, but as soon as I got in I spilled the beans.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

i told the woman who works next door at 8 weeks because i wasn't feeling too hot and needed her to cover my class a few times. my principal found out at 10 weeks mainly because she figured it out. i wanted to wait until 12 weeks but i probably should have told people sooner (especially my para who i told at 12 weeks) since the kids i work with (not my class specifically, but in the school) are pretty big (up to 21) and can get pretty aggressive, but i didn't feel comfortable earlier so... oh well.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I'm showing MUCH faster this time around so I plan on telling next week if all goes well at my 12 week ultrasound.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I told my principal and my close work friends at 12 weeks. I still have yet to come out to everyone else.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I am 16 weeks now and only about 3 people at work now. I will start telling more people soon.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I went "official" at 12 weeks...

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

i told just past 7 weeks (right after we saw the heartbeat). Besides being sick (and the crackers and ginger ale being a give away), there's certain patients at work that i can't take. It worked out perfect that i told them the night that i did, too, because i almost got an RSV+ patient and TB patient. So, i would have had to blurt it out then, anyway.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

at 12 weeks. i am so close with so many people i work with, i couldn't wait much longer! Also, i wanted to put the bug in my principal's ear that I would be interested in any sort of part-time position that could become available.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

If all goes well, then after the February break - I'll be about 11 weeks then.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

Today! 14 weeks.

Re: When did you tell work you were expecting?

I was 12 weeks with DS and it was a good thing I did - I literally popped about 5 days later so there would have been no denying it then.
