If you were 10 weeks pregnant and had a notoriously difficult boss, would you tell them now or wait until after the first trimester? I’m dreading telling him. He’s explosive. Maybe talk to HR first.

I wouldn’t say a word until you are showing and definitely coordinate the timing. Tell HR at like 9am, 10am tell the boss.

Thank you…maybe at 5-6 month

Wait until the last second possible. Maybe he will assume you are just getting fat. Happens more often than you realize 😂

I mean when people start sensing you are “getting fat” then coordinate. Hide it as long as you can. Even if you tell them at month 5-6 you still are giving them several months to plan for you being out, perfectly reasonable. When they question why you waited so long to tell everyone, state miscarriages have happened even late stage in your family, and you didn’t want to create an issue until you were sure it was necessary. If they retaliate in any way that is illegal under FMLA and you can sue for big money via an employment lawyer. Take your secured maternity leave, enjoy, and perhaps even consider looking for a new job while out? Get a better more supportive boss…the fact that you are concerned about any of this is a sign you need a better boss.
