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??
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.
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!

im going to tell my boss next week when i go back, im dreading it at havnt been there to long and just before xmas he sat me down and thanked me for how hard i work and how its good to have reliable staff members.
You shouldnt feel guilty for being pregnant but you do! Just want to get it over and done with!
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.
I told mine yesterday and was NERVOUS im a nanny and I have no contract or laws protecting me, but she seemed happy for me and was asking me about school schedules for her kids for Sept so I think im in the clear I just need to show her I can arrange all my Dr's Apts around her schedule. and I think she will be fine.
GOOD LUCK it is scarey when its your job
