New job and new pregnancy

[chrisjarvis]

So I just found out Saturday that I'm pregnant, 5 weeks, and I started a new job this past Tuesday. Thankfully I don't have any nausea yet, but I'm nervous about people (strangers!) finding out. I couldn't be happier but I feel a little guilty too, knowing I'm going to be missing so much work.  Insurance coverage starts in a couple weeks so I feel like I need to wait to make a Dr appointment. Also no vacation for three months so I'm not sure how I'll get out of work to go to appointments. Anyone else ever been in the same boat?

I'm in the same boat I've just said docs appointment for the first u/s ( on my first dAy of wrk ) but I'm now 8 weeks n not sure what to say now :/

Always get a doctor excuse when you go to appointments. And you need to go to the doctor at about 8 weeks. If your insurance doesnt start by then go to a free clinic, thats what i did. Also i'd try and keep your pregnancy on a need to know basis at work. They cant fire you for being pregnant but they can for little mistakes.
