At a big law firm (PI). How early did you tell HR you were pregnant? Past pregnancy I waited till I was showing. But now, this firm is more unstable. Fires every month. Trying to get ahead of things the right way. I am up for promotion in May. So I’m considering waiting till that meeting. Currently 4 weeks (way too early I know). But I’m high risk now and would love to take some stress off by getting ahead of it early to let them know about the increased doctors appointments etc.

Wait.

Yes. I would wait. I was forced to tell my employer earlier than anticipated because of pregnancy complications. I ended up telling them when I was 4 months. Also, I was very small so I could have waited even longer.

I am high risk as well. I told my female managing partner at 4 weeks for the exact reason you stated. She has been very supportive because I’ve had doctor apts each week. Currently 10 weeks

Thanks for this. Praying for the best on your journey!

Congrats!! My last pregnancy I decided to disclose the day after pulling an all-nighter because I needed my team to know that I couldn’t do that anymore (raises my heart rate etc). So if you’re in that type of situation, I recommend disclosing early but if not, it’s best to wait.
