going to tell boss


next week is the big day - telling our bosses we're having a baby!
I'm nervous because it seems to make it more real and the ever present scare of miscarriage is always a worry.....i've waited till 12 weeks but still i worry .....suddenly i'm worrying more than ever when perhaps I should be relaxing more??

did anyone else feel this?

With my 1st, my boss was the first person I told. We were very good friends, and she knew there was something up as I couldn't stop being sick, not morning sickness, just nerves. lol. I had been told it "would be highly unlikey I conceived naturally", well 2 children on, and now 8 weeks pregnant, I'm prooving them all wrong.

Good Luck!

I guess it must be nerve-wrecking! I'm dreading a BFP and having to tell my mum...

Can't say I've had to tell my boss because I'm not working at the mo but the worrying never stops and you'll have to tell them eventually. I'm sure you'll do fine! Good luck

Good luck - I'm worrying about having to tell my boss who is also a close friend and the rest of my family at 12 weeks just in case something happens afterwards!
But we do have to tell them as if they don't know they have no health and safety responsibilities for us!

i'm sure it'll be fine....i just worry i'm jinxing things!?!?

You know you're right we shouldnt feel bad - and it'll be good for people to know why I might be looking off colour as opposed to me having to just grin and bear it!!

I told my boss as soon as I found out. I dont know why. Ive got my 3 month review on Monday though and Im so nervous that this has done something to affect my job here.

Im sure everything will be fine hun, they'll probably be pleased for you!

I actually work with a temp company and I told them when I was about 9 weeks along, they kept finding me 1 year contract positions, which I knew that I was unable to take. They have been great about it so far though, are still finding me quite a lot of work.
