New job?

[Serenity80114]

Ok so I'm 27 weeks pregnant and just got hired by target. How long should I wait to tell them I'm expecting August 1st? Anyone else dealing or dealt with this?

I told my boss when I was less than 2 months maybe 6 weeks??

I feel it should be mentioned as soon as possible. Just because if they try to get you to do a task that you normally can't do while pregnant how are you going to explain that? I had an interview and still got the job when I was pregnant with my daughter so it's possible to get a job while pregnant. Good luck

Im trying to get a job too & was told to not mention it to them for a while & when you are going to mention it to them, insted of telling your boss, write an email to human resources. Some places wont like that you're pregnant & may find excuses to fire you but not if you're pregnant & its written to human resources instead. Atleast that's the law in florida. But good luck :)

I work at target aswell and I'm only a month in employee.  I'm 5 weeks and 3 or 5 days I'm not sure when to tell them either I was thinking 2nd trimester.

I told my boss during my interview and was still hired on. They appreciate the honesty most times. It does affect them so I would let them know immediately. Also you might not be able to do certain assignments so they need to know for your safety as well,

I told my boss at my interview. I was like 4 or 5 months. I still got the job.

I would tell them asap. I am now 39 weeks and got a new job at 22, I didn't tell them at first and when my boss found out she was really mad. Cut my hours and eventually stopped putting me on the schedule at all. I now don't have a job. Luckily my boyfriend works but its a hard spot to be in, and if you want any maternity leave (doctors suggest you take 6 weeks, that's how long it takes your body to heal)  then they'll have to know pretty soon to arrange it.
