Im around 9 weeks and confused when to tell my manager. Dont wanna say too early but also the morning sickness is making it hard to hide. When did u all inform office?
I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant and facing this exact dilemma right now! I want to wait until my 12-week scan, but my fatigue is making it so hard to focus on my deadlines. Did you guys tell your immediate manager first, or did you go straight to HR?
Oh god, I changed my mind ten times before telling my HR because I kept worrying they would think I'm less committed! I finally told them after my 12-week scan when I had the clearance report in hand. If you are anxious, waiting until the end of the first trimester is usually the safest bet for peace of mind.
I totally understand how overwhelming this decision can be, because your job and your sweet little baby are both so important. Many women wait until the first trimester is safely over around 12 weeks to share the news. Take your time, listen to your heart, and do what feels most comforting to you, dear.
I had to tell my boss very early, around week 7, because my morning sickness was so severe that I was vomiting between client calls. If you are feeling fine, waiting until the 12-week scan is a very practical choice. But if you are struggling with nausea, telling them early can help you get much-needed flexibility.
I waited until my belly started acting as a laptop stand at week 20, haha! Honestly, unless you are throwing up on your keyboard, you can easily wait until the 12-week mark when the risk drops. Go at your own pace, and enjoy keeping your sweet little secret for a bit!
