Question?? When did you guys tell your boss and your job you were pregnant? With my last pregnancy I told my boss as…

I work in a nursing home and my boss asked me one morning when she found me sitting on a couch crying. lol so they knew like a week after I knew.

Hmmm. I'm just wondering when is it a great time to tell her @lexij otherwise I'll be taking off for doc appointments

it shouldn't matter. they cant do anything about it. the most annoying part to me is that everyone is asking questions and acting like I can't do my job without extra help. which I know is a good thing. just gets a little over bearing sometimes.

tell them whenever your comfortable. I know some people like waiting til after the first trimester. I'm very open with my boss because she's a nurse. she understands and tries to help with whatever she can.

I told my boss and Hr when I was almost 4 months along

@lexij, I told my boss when I was about 6-8 weeks last time. Was just wondering should I wait a bit. I believe I will tell her after my confirmation app my first prenatal appointment on April 15th.

@schu35, I was wondering should I wait awhile too. That might be a lil ways tho because I would have to start having them send the paperwork to me and all. Seems like everything takes forever here

@calebsmommy1121, it's ultimately up to you. I personally did not feel comfortable telling them right away. My coworkers knew almost instantly because I couldn't hide my excitement. When I finally told my boss they sent me paperwork right away that needed to be filled out by myself and my doctor. And luckily I started switching my hours with another employee when I had doctors appointments. Now that my work knows they are very understanding with me having off due to appointments. You will know when the time is right momma :)

@schu35, I will let my boss know too. How early were you when you told them?

what paper work do you guys get? nobody said anything to me about any paper work and everyone knows.

@lexij, FMLA or maternity or hints of that nature. So when you're off to have the baby you'll know when you're able to come back to work and so forth. The doc has to fill out some paperwork and send it back to your job too

@lexij, it was FMLA paper work that I had to fill out. @calebsmommy1121 I think I was about 14 weeks when I told them, I work at two different places and told one at 12 and the other at 14.

ohh! they said they give me that once I made it to twenty weeks.

Oh okay @lexij

@schu35, I had FMLA too
