First time parents (both maternal and paternal) how far in advance did you tell your work that you were expecting your baby? If the due date is in November I’m curious when my wife and I should inform work. Also open to any other tips you wish you knew!

Probably different for men that women. For a guy, what is the paternal leave and when and how much do you plan on taking it? I know men who took a week or two initially, wife took 6 months, then husband took the rest of his leave. I know guy that took 6 months when their wife did ( although unless they were job hunting or a complication most regretted that). I know guys that took 4 weeks FT, then another month PT. Some companies make you say and stick to it, others are more flexible.

Taking of two weeks is like a vacation. Taking off 4 to 6 months is a bigger impact. What lead time does your project need to plan for your being gone?

Women unless they are completely remote, start showing. Most tell after the 1st trimester, with 20 weeks probably being the most common.

I did a bit after 20 weeks. I had several losses beforehand, so I had some anxiety about sharing too early. Everyone is very understanding.

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate that!

I was high risk so I had to tell my manager sooner than I would have liked. Everyone else I told when I was half way through, around 20 weeks.
