Anyone not told work yet?

I’m 15+2 and still haven’t told my work.
Partly because I wanted to wait until I had my screening results (which have come back low risk) and also just been putting it off.
I’ve been in this job only just a year and it’s been a big career move for me. They are an amazing family-owned and family-orientated company, but I feel so guilty for falling pregnant (unplanned) so soon after starting with the business.
I’m planning on telling them next week, but honestly I’m bricking it!!
Anyone else not told their work yet?

I have, thought it’s good to go through the company policy and see what I’m entitled to.

I’m telling my work when I go back on Tuesday (I’m currently on my last couple of days of maternity leave!) and I’m DREADING going back and telling them I’m 14 weeks pregnant 🫠 so I completely relate with the feelings of guilt as this wasn’t planned for me either! Doesn’t help that when I fell pregnant the last time I’d only been with the company two weeks 🤣 they’re going to hate me 🥴

I’m 16 weeks and haven’t told work yet. I’m just waiting for my midwife appointment and hope to hear the heartbeat for some reassurance and then will tell them the following week

Omg so happy to hear someone in the same boat!! Like I know legally I’m protected etc but I still feel sick about telling them😂 we got this!!

I told my boss at around 6 weeks, but this was partly because I’d had to take an emergency appointment (concerns for having an ectopic pregnancy) and that my boss is also my best friends dad, I really wanted to tell her!! 😂

Try not to worry too much, even if it had been a planned pregnancy, you haven’t done anything wrong!! If you plan to go back after your maternity leave, maybe reassure them of this 🤍

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Dabs

Anyone take a dab or two when pregnant? I’m about 20weeks today.

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Milestone anxiety

Anyone else really struggling because baby hasn’t hit certain milestones yet? My anxiety is overwhelming me.
