prego mommies who are working when did you tell your job you were pregnant??? I started a new job today and I wanted to…

You should be fine then. Women tend to be happier about it than men.

Waited til I reached my second trimester just in case I had a miscarriage.

I was 14 weeks

Yesterday!!!! They hugged and kissed me and was over the top and I gave them each a copy of the ultrasound that says its a boy!!!! And I'm 14 weeks they said well where that baby hiding!!!

They were happy, I knew that I needed to let them have notice because the head chef had to hire and train someone to take over my place. If you are comfortable with your boss I would tell them sooner than letting them figure it out on their own. Shows you respect your job as well as your boss, I think they will be happy for you too especially since your getting your little girl:)

@jessd1988, how did they react

@meboom01, I work with mostly women and my boss just had a daughter recently and adores her so I'm pretty sure she can relate

I told them at 16 weeks, I was a chef so they couldn't tell with my big chef coat on anyway:)

Of course I work with mostly women lol

I was hired in late September when I was 5 weeks and told them in November so about 2 months of being there. They were all so excited for me

I told mine a week after I found out because they needed to know if I was coming back next year because they were sending out contracts that month so I had to tell them.

@mrs.medrano, sorry to hear that women can be bitches most of the time

i see what you mean, id honestly wait out the probationary period to say anything just in case. even if you're showing they're not allowed to even ask and you dont have to let them know. good luck :)

@rileysmomma16, ok thank you

@kelseys, I work 7:30-4 my Dr closes at 6:30 so I'm just going to schedule my appointments late

I told them at 16 weeks and they gave me hell over it besides the fact that I only work with women everyone has made everything so difficult for me the only that understands is the owner which is a male but it's always out of town. as I've gotten bigger no one helps me out with anything I'm leaving at the end of the month

Aww lol. & my friend was hired threw a temp agency as well. I believe she told them she was pregnant a little before 20 weeks just so her job could know she is a good worker and will be even after the baby. She did get hired on full time. Best of luck!

mines was probation 90 days till the job was actually permanent and I told them during that time. just don't give them a reason to doubt you while pregnant, I worked super hard, harder then some of the other workers and when it came time for my leave they didn't want me to go. but just try to not call off or go in late and always request off on your appointments ahead of time

@anniewakeen, I'm not worried about them firing me I'm worried about them not hiring me permanently because this is a temp to hire position but it paid really well and I'm doing billing for a insurance company so I'm sitting at my computer all day a perfect job for a pregnant woman

you really dont have to say anything for a while plus its illegal for them to fire you for that reason.

@rileysmomma16, my husband wanted to name our daughter Riley so bad lol

@kelseys, this is a temp to hire position I just don't want them to think since I'm pregnant I shouldn't be hired permanently

fine. just said congratulations. they can't fire you for being pregnant

I found out I was pregnant a week before I started my job. I had to tell them when I was 8 weeks cause I had horrible morning sickness & was constantly calling out & didn't want to loose the job I JUST got lol. But they were very understanding & thankfully are to this day. Whenever you feel comfortable is when I would tell them. I just didn't really have an option lol

@kelseys, how did they react

I told them when I found out which was after a month of working

@2016momof2, I'm nervous

@meboom01, were you working before getting pregnant

I'd tell them soon

I told them around 13-14 weeks just to make sure everything went ok in the first trimester.
