Congrats!
Also it really depends on you and how comfortable you are with your manager and sharing the news. People tend to wait till the 12 week mark since the chance of miscarriage decreases significantly after that. I didn’t want to deal with telling people about a miscarriage if it happened. Other school of thinking is that the first trimester is draining, probably the most tired I was during the entire pregnancy. So if your manager has gone through it, they will likely be more understanding.
I think that’s very important! The grief of a miscarriage is sometimes not afforded the weight it carries. Thanks for the advice xx
Congrats! I told my counselor and one other manager around 9 weeks because my morning sickness was so bad (like ER bad at one point) and wanted at least someone to know what was going on and that I was really struggling to keep up
Might do that too ! Thanks
I told them around 10 weeks because I was sick all the time and could not attend some meetings and needed to take frequent breaks. Otherwise, I would have waited until second trimester. Do whatever you feel most comfortable with and congtats!
Thanks lovely! Yeah I might end up having to say it earlier than planned
If you are getting sick a lot, don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor about getting on medicine
My first pregnancy I told everyone at around 23-24 weeks. This pregnancy I’m planning to tell around the same time.
24 weeks usually marks the viability point, so for me personally it makes a good time to let my teams know.
However, as others already pointed out, chances of miscarriage go down drastically after 12-13 weeks, so I see a lot of people announcing around then.
Any supporting moms you know at your company, or even your niche, who can give you advice? If you need less on your plate, you may want to talk to your manager
I have different managers mostly males but i should be able to get a few females to speak to xx
I told my counselor semi early because I was sick all the time, but then told the partners and my teams at around 12 weeks. I did the same with both kids. Unfortunately I was sick for all months of both my pregnancies so I did have to get HR involved pretty early so they understood why I was coming in late and having to take more break during the days. Hope that helps!
Helps a lot thank you xx
Congrats! Me too! Was wondering this same thing
Congratulations to you too xx
Not until 2nd trimester, at least
