Work
Hi! So I’m just looking for some advice. I’m 11 and 5 days pregnant with my second baby, and I was hoping to wait until the scan to announce it to work along with everyone else! But I’m bumping already and finding it incredibly difficult to hide it, and I’m bloody exhausted. I work in a pub, and on busy shifts I’m getting to the point where I need to ask to sit down but it’s not a done thing 🤣 should I just tell my boss and colleagues tomorrow before my scan? I had an early reassurance scan at 7 weeks. My scan isn’t booked until 22nd and I’ll be 13 weeks 2 days. I just don’t know if I can hold out anymore!
I’ll add as well, I only work 3 days, and my boss is only in on Sundays. And I think out of respect I want to tell her face to face before anyone! So if I wait until after the scan, it’s another 2 Sundays to wait 🫠

I had no choice but to tell my boss because she saw me throw up in my bin in the early days. So I told her and a few very close work mates so they could cover me if I needed to run (I had HG so I threw up alot) I’m 13 weeks and starting to let a lot of others at work know. They all kinds guessed though because of my belly but out of respect didn’t say anything. You do what your comfortable with xo 😘
I'd tell em, or at least tell your boss and then let your colleagues guess why you're sitting 🤭
I had to tell my work at 7weeks, I work 48hrs a week as a manager in a busy restaurant and I struggled majorly with sickness right up until 13weeks. Ended up having a couple of weeks off sick due to dehydration. I would recommend for anyone to tell their work early cause you can then set limits on your workload and they can’t really argue 😂
