Im 9 weeks and not showing yet, so far only my husband knows. My manager is decent but i dont want to tell too early na, scared of how they react. When did u all tell ur office?
I told my boss right after the 12 week scan and kept it professional. Honestly, do it before the bump shows so it is on your terms, not gossip. Know your maternity leave policy before the conversation.
I waited till after my first trimester, around 12 to 14 weeks, once things felt more settled. I told my manager first, privately, then the team. Practically, time it so you can plan your leave and handover comfortably, no rush.
There is no fixed rule, but many wait till the second trimester when risk drops. If your work is physically demanding or risky, you might tell HR earlier for safety adjustments. Do what feels right for your comfort and your role.
