Recently found out I was pregnant and there is a possibility of being put on a project with cross country travel. I am 8 weeks along and my OB has said that kind of weekly travel may be too much contd

Congratulations!! Can you tell them it’s for a medical reason and just leave it vague? You can come clean in a few weeks then when you’re ready.

Omg, definitely get off that case! I know it’s early but if you can discretely tell someone that you trust- your staffer? your PL? The head of your office? HR?- it honestly will make things so much easier.

From personal experience, I’m a fan of sharing early with people you trust. I told my P on a case when I was pregnant at 7 weeks because I was super super sick and needed to work from home. I ended up having a miscarriage with that pregnancy at 10 weeks and honestly it was really helpful that my P knew. He was extremely supportive, cut back my workload enormously for a week, and (to my knowledge) didn’t tell anyone.

Hopefully the miscarriage won’t happen to you, but I know that’s the fear of sharing early, and just want to offer another perspective

Not sure if/how to tell team that I can’t do the project without revealing I’m pregnant and would rather not do so this early. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

We decided after the 4th round failed to go a different route and use sperm donation to rid us of the gene. During 2022, she went through 4 rounds of IUI and finally got one that stuck. She is now 14 weeks pregnant and due in April 😊
