New job - how to tell them I'm pregnant?

Published

I just accepted a new position within my company, a transfer.

I interviewed when i was 14 weeks, so i was just entering my 2nd trimester and really was JUST telling people. I also was told by several people not to mention it at the interview.

I got the job, and now i am 16 weeks. My manager wants me to stay for a few extra weeks to help train my replacement....and i wont be starting at the new position until i am 21 WEEKS!!! eeeks! I'm gonna walk in on my first day with this big belly that i didnt have in the interview.

Should i call my new manager and tell her over the phone, or should i just wait until the first day? I know that legally i am not required to tell them...but i want to.

Any advice on the best way to handle this? eeeks! I feel so guilty!

Don't feel guilty for being pregnant. I have worked with many nurses who were pregnant and never said a thing till it was kinda obvious this wasn't just a little extra weight...or it was, but all in one specific area!

Look at it this way, they got a two fer one deal!

Congrats on your pregnancy.
