I started a new job and got pregnant shortly after. Told my team when I was 16 weeks pregnant. All were very supportive. Hoping the same for you!
Does your company have a service requirement for parental leave? That’ll be the big question mark you’ll need to navigate and potentially negotiate for.
Pro
Some women wait until past 12 weeks, some after 20, it’s more about how comfortable you feel along in the pregnancy.
I think at least 30 days notice prior to a leave is what is required. So going off of that and your relationship with your manager can help you make a decision.
I was 3 months into a new job when I found out I was pregnant and told my boss at 12 weeks. But he is a really easy going guy with 5 kids, so I get more comfortable giving that much notice about being off and we figured out my leave together over that time. But it’s a much smaller company than OMD.
