I waited as long as possible ... about 14 weeks. You don’t owe anyone information like this, and since it’s significantly less risky past 12 weeks it’s common to wait

Wait as long as you can. A lot can go wrong in the first trimester unfortunately. Get secret thrills by telling total strangers like the server who takes your decaf order

Congrats! Last fall I told my boss/team at 9 weeks then found out I had miscarried a week later We got a + in Feb but I waited till 11 weeks after my second appointment to be sure.

Wait as long as you can, as long as it’s not obvious. Miscarriage is 1/4 in the first trimester. Oh, and CONGRATS!!!

For my first, I think I pushed it to about 18 weeks (it took quite a while for me to show). Second time around was sooner. But agree on all posts above, wait as long as possible!

Told supervisors at 10 weeks because I couldn’t stop throwing up. Told HR and others after 20 week anatomy scan.

I waited for 16 weeks, but could’ve gone longer. With your first it takes quite a while to start showing. Congrats!

Had to tell them way early around 7 weeks bc I was Kate Middleton sick

Waited until after the first trimester for the reasons stated above. I didn't want to end up having a miscarriage and then need to explain that to everyone as well. You don't owe them anything. It's an exciting time, but god forbid if something goes wrong, do you want to have to explain that too?

Sending all the good thoughts your way and congratulations!!

Wait as long as you can.

I waited 20 weeks

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
