When should I tell my boss that I'm pregnant?
I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and have a very demanding job working for a global company, my working hours are from 6:30-6pm plus meetings at night (couple times a week).
I have been doing well with balancing my mood & handling stress. However, I don't want to keep working like this throughout the whole pregnancy.
When should I tell my boss about the big news? Should I wait till my 1st doctor appointment (about a month away) or I should communicate it now?

I would wait till you're at least 12 weeks, that's usually the best time since a lot can happen before then. Speaking from my own experience.
got it! Thanks!
I second this suggestion and I'm sorry that happened to you.
Always communicate these things in writing, never verbally. Keep a paper trail. You also won't need to tell your boss, just HR. They'll communicate any needed accommodations down the chain of command.
