Im 9 weeks and not showing yet, so confused when to tell my manager. Thoda nervous about how they'll react with my projects and all. Working ladies, when did u inform office?
Oh, I totally understand this feeling! It's such a big moment, full of excitement and a little bit of fear, isn't it? I remember just wanting to shout it from the rooftops but also being so nervous. Take your time, there’s no rush, your heart will tell you when it’s right.
Haha, if you're like me and suddenly find out it's twins, you might want to tell them sooner just to see their face! Kidding aside, usually after your first ultrasound confirms everything and you're past the initial critical phase, like 12-14 weeks, is a good time. It gives you some breathing room. Plus you need to plan for double the leaves, right?
This is a very personal decision, and it’s okay to take your time. After my IVF journey, I waited until I was really sure and comfortable, like after the first trimester scan. It’s important to protect your peace and your baby’s safety first. Do what feels right for you and your situation, dear.
Oh God, this question kept me up at night too! I kept thinking what if they react badly, what if my job is affected? It's so normal to worry. My husband said to wait till I felt totally ready and confident. Don't rush into it, only when you feel secure.
Dekho, har kisi ka comfort level alag hota hai. Agar aapko koi major issues nahi hain, toh maybe wait till 3-4 months when things are more stable. Par agar kuch bhi serious lag raha hai ya bahut discomfort hai, always talk to your gynac. They can advise you not just medically, but also practically about work.
Honestly, I'd say wait until your first trimester is safely over, or even second. Mere saath complications hue the na, toh I wish maine thoda wait kiya hota. Always discuss with your gynac first about your specific situation, they can guide you best on timing. It's about your well-being first.
As a working mom, I'd suggest checking your company's HR policy first. Usually, waiting until you're past the first trimester makes sense, especially if you need to take time off for appointments. It also gives you time to plan your handover properly without stress. So maybe around 12-14 weeks is good.
Yaar, if your morning sickness is bad like mine was, you might have to tell them sooner than later. It was so hard to hide those bathroom breaks! If you can manage your symptoms well, then waiting till after the first trimester is generally better. Less chance of any issues and you feel more secure. Just see how you are feeling.
