when to tell my boss???

Im 9+4 weeks along & just started a new job about a month and a half ago ( i didn't know i was pregnant until about 7 weeks) im on my 90 day probation period & then will be hired on as a full time employee ( even though i work ft) should i tell my boss now or wait until im hired on. If i tell them now can they not hire me on because im pregnant?? If i wait can they fire me for not telling them sooner?

If you work somewhere physically stressful then id tell them. I worked at a pet hotel when I first found out and had to do a lot of manual labor lifting heavy dog food bags, cleaning cat litter, dealing with big hyper dogs. They accommodated me and were really nice about it, well my boss was, shift leader was a pric!k lmao but if you can do it without harming yourself then wait

during your probation period an employer does not need a reason to fire you. nor are they obligated to provide you with a reason. I would wait if I were you.

My best friend was in the same situation and ended up going into preterm labor while on probation period and they just went ahead and gave her maternity leave and gonna continue the rest of her probation period when she returns or gonna hire her on shortly after she returns

I'd wait! I know girls that have been fired on probationary period while being pregnant. They didn't get fired because they were pregnant, but management found 'other'reasons to fire them and my friend couldn't prove anything because she was on probation. If you choose to tell them before it's over I'd at least wait until you were 12 weeks.
