What is the latest you informed leadership regarding pregnancy? How did it go?

Unfortunately, I have been passed up for promotion in the past. Leadership is very vocal about how tough the first five years are and they “don’t miss it”.
Im really wanting to wait until the last minute. I did recently take a new role but not yet reporting to new leadership. I won’t be assigned/aligned for a while. Me telling them will affect the timing of when I get placed. That’s unavoidable. More in comments

I highly respect my new leadership and don’t want to blindside them with waiting until the last second.
Thoughts?

(I was passed for promotion while interviewing at 8 months pregnant in 2023.)

Where are you based? Different countries will have different laws and protections. I’m in the U.K. and waited until 16 weeks for similar reasons.

I’m in the US

Many people wait until 20 weeks and a healthy anatomy scan to disclose their pregnancy. If this is your second pregnancy and you are in office, you will likely be showing around that time as well.

There is a “We’re Pregnant” bowl were this has been discussed multiple times if you use the search feature. But to summarize: the most common answers for when to disclose are 12 weeks, 20 weeks, and 28 weeks.

I totally get why you want to wait. It sounds like a tough spot, especially with what you've experienced before (presumably it's the same company?). Since your placement isn’t settled yet, holding off might give you more control over the timing, but just know that you deserve both career growth and this exciting new chapter in your life!

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

For all the Indian men (who grew up in India, now working on visa or post student options in US) and trying to marry an Indian American citizen to expedite your GC/citizenship path, I have a recommendation for you.
Be honest about your status and forthcoming. Don’t play the ladies for your ulterior motives. What’s meant to be will be, however if you approach dating/marriage for status or hide your actual situation, surely it will not end well. Sincerity and honesty are very important values!
