Starting a new job help.

I know many have posted about this subject but I am only 12 weeks along, and I start a new job on Monday. When would it be a relevant time to mention it to my boss? Since I'm not that far along I figured I could wait as long as I could or until someone asks me about it? Any advice is appreciated. :) <3

I recently started my job. I got hired at 20w and now I'm 23w and still haven't mentioned anything. Still hiding my small bump that is starting to make its appearance. I plan on telling them next week. I feel it's best to tell them when you're comfortable. :)

Wait about a month, prove yourself first, they can refuse to renew your contract, you become a liability

I wouldn't say nothing until months later, i started with my job at 16 weeks they found out like 30 weeks only because my tummy was huge I'm now 36 weeks and still working full time,  they tired ne to see if I could perform my job , so just be careful.

I started a new job when I was about 20 weeks and I waited a month before I told them so I could prove that I was worth keeping around legally they can't fire you because tour pregnant but they can find another reason to fire you but you're so early I'd wait about a month
