When to Tell Your Boss??

[People_Person]

Does anyone have any thoughts on when is the best time to tell your boss you're pregnant?  I've read the general rule about waiting until the end of the first trimester.  However, given I'm considered high risk I will have to be leaving early for appointments on a regualr basis.  Considering I generally don't miss work this will seem unusual.  I am newly married (10 months) so I doubt it will shock anyone.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Thanks!!

I told right away.

I'm very close with my boss and all my coworkers. They all knew we were trying...so I told them all within a couple of weeks after I found out. Having the extra support and understanding around the office is really nice.

Me again,  that's a good point that smr08 made.  It really does depend on the relationship you have with your boss.  If you're comfortable with him/her and share a confidence together, then it's really your call.

I would say that it depends on the relationship that you have with your boss. You can do the standard or if you have a good relationship you can tell him/her sooner.

I waited til after my 1st trimester.  I scheduled all my appts during lunchtime hours or late in the day.  I was considered high risk because of my age as well.   Honestly, it doesn't matter what anybody says or thinks, but for your own peace of mind, I would wait til after your 1st trimester.  Good luck!

I would wait as long as I could.
