To get a little more insight I work from home and am trying to get a promotion. My promotion is decided by 2 male superiors 1 who is a workaholic. I want to wait as long as possible to tell them because Im scared it will affect me getting a promotion as I have read so many horror stories in corporate america for woman. Is 2 months before due date okay? They would definitely need to hire a temp because i do ALOT of work (im an accountant)

I shared at the start of my second trimester. I’m not sure when is too soon or pushing it in terms of too late.
I lead a team and I have a female boss so I felt comfortable sharing sooner. In my case, I wanted to understand what kind of work I might need to do in case I need to find someone to fill in and help run my team while I’m on leave. Being about about it sooner helped me feel more at ease but that’s just me.
I’m getting 16 weeks leave and I will officially put my leave in sometime this week.
Knowing how short maternity leave is in the US I personally don’t see any issue with waiting until you’re 2 months before the due date.
