Thanks for all of the replies. I work on a very supportive floor and we all work together as a team. Two people already know that I am pregnant. The girl I ride to work with. The other.....I asked him to find another nurse to assist him with an droplet iso pt. He looked at me for a minute....thought about it. said "Really!?!" I always help, I never say no. He was very excited he knew right there. I am tall and slender and I am sure I will show in no time. Plus if you saw the way I am eating....... I worked a few days ago and one of my co-workers looked at me in shock as I ate my snack......my 4th snack. I have a few days to digest it all and figure out what I want to do.

Hi, I just found out I am pregnant!! We have been trying for some time now about 4 years! (YIPPPIIEEE!!!) If I had my way I would wait until the 7 week u/s (I am 4 almost 5 weeks now) I don't think I can keep it to myself that long simply because of the work we do. We are exposed to so many things cytotoxic meds, radioactive pt's, certain iso's etc. I will share some background info. There is one co-worker that since the day she met me she has asked me about having babies. I have tried to change the subject and even told her I don't want to talk to her about it. This has gone on for about 5 years now. Another co-worker I confided in a few years back, spilled the beans that hubby and I were trying to the entire shift just 2 weeks ago. I just want my space and not a lot of attention. I am scared and happy all at the same time. I just want a healthy happy little baby!! (OH I can't wait!!) I don't want to go in shift by shift and hope that I don't have to change my assignment. I am afraid that this will only lead to more rumors and more stress. So I think it is best that I just come out and say it at report on my next shift. Any words of advice any helpful hints on how to deal with all of this? It is all so very new to me!! Thanks!
