How did you inform HR when you are pregnant? I’m 20 weeks and starting to show so I wanted to tell my partners but wanted first to be in writing to HR. Was thinking of just asking for the maternity policy information I would need and benefits forms and to let them know I don’t want it shared outside of HR.

That will never happen. They will absolutely inform your partners. There is nothing confidential between HR and management.

I would just tell your partners and then right away send an email to HR. I get the wanting to document it thing.

I just emailed my HR and they sent over the applicable forms. I’m at a satellite office at a mid size firm so they really wouldn’t talk to the partners like that. I then told the partners in person after the email.

Thank you!

Don’t want your pregnancy shared outside of HR? That ship has sailed if you’re starting to show. I’m confused

Good to know. I’ll hold off so I can tell the people I want to at the same time I tell HR so hopefully no issues.

Why wouldn't you want your partners to know? They would need to know so they can make sure they aren't staffing you on projects during your maternity leave.

I would just rather tell them myself when I wanted to share the news. I don’t think they need a 4 month heads up for staffing, but would obviously tell them before that would become an issue.

I shared the news with the partners I work with closely before I shared with HR. They kept it under wraps before I reached out to HR. You could even see if one of the partners that you share with has that information or knows where to find it. We have a page where we can view all of our resources/benefits, etc.

Being from Minnesota, I think it's so funny when people act as if we are some far-left State just because we hadn't voted Republican in a presidential election since Nixon. Never mind that many of our elections are close or that we have elected Republican Senators and governors.

I have voted for both the GOP and the DFL, and I feel like they are both far more normal than their national counterparts
