Preggo Teachers

How far along were you when you told your principals? I am nervous to tell because there are a few preggos at my job due around the same time. They have already told my boss, and I haven't yet. I wanted to wait a little while longer.

Re: Preggo Teachers

I told my principal at 11 weeks, although I told a co-worker at about 8 wks.

Re: Preggo Teachers

I had to tell at 8 weeks because they put me on the toughtest duty in the building... a lunch duty where the entire band over 1/4 of the school was in one cafe (over 220 kids and I was the only teacher). The kids were very good but my doctor said, "No Way". Being high risk, I was not allowed on my feet for long.

I had to tell the asst. principal, he reassigned me to the library but the entire faculty was wondering how I got out of it... there was quite a buzz so I had to tell.

Re: Preggo Teachers

I told at 15 weeks.

Re: Preggo Teachers

I have the best relationship with my principal. She knew we were trying. I told her at about 8 weeks. She has been nothing but supportive.

Re: Preggo Teachers

I told my principal at 13 weeks..people started suspecting and I wanted him to hear it from me.

Re: Preggo Teachers

First time I told at 13 weeks. I was due on Labor Day and gave birth on the first day of school, so I was a bit nervous about the timing!
This time I told around 9 weeks.

Both times my principal was soooo supportive!!

Re: Preggo Teachers

the first time around I had to tell them at about 6 weeks because I was so sick from the morning sickness I was in the bathroom all day long

Re: Preggo Teachers

i told at 8 wks bc we had a 5th disease scare and i had to take a few days off. i am not going back next year either though so i wasnt too worried about them finding out so soon...

Re: Preggo Teachers

at about 12 weeks

Re: Preggo Teachers

8 weeks b/c i was spotting so much and had to "take it easy" wanted him to know that was why i was off my feet so much! he was wonderful about it!

Re: Preggo Teachers

I am 14 weeks and still havent told my principal. Though, i have stopped by 3 times this week to see him, and he wasnt in. Hopefully tomorrow i can.

Re: Preggo Teachers

13 weeks.

Re: Preggo Teachers

17 weeks, but the week before was winter break. it was really getting hard to hide it at that point!! the rumors were flying!!

Re: Preggo Teachers

Thanks for the responses. I am glad your principals were great about it. I think mine will be too. I think I will go in after my 12 week appointment. 2 more weeks...man, I am nervous...

Re: Preggo Teachers

I told her around 10 weeks but asked her not to tell anyone else (She was good about it) until I told everyone else at 12 weeks.

She was great!
