Only when you’re comfortable. It depends on your work relationship with your boss.

For #1, I waited until 20 weeks bc I wasn’t comfortable disclosing any sooner and wanted to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
For #2, I waited until about 14 weeks to get all clear, but I felt comfortable telling my boss earlier since I was so sick. Also wanted to give a huge heads up so they could plan coverage for my (rather difficult) account. I’m also luckily I haven’t had complications that required additional dr appts.

If you’re WFH, you can get away with not telling people for much longer since they only see you from the shoulders up!
