Informing work about pregnancy

Has anyone told their work yet about their pregnancy? I’m weighing up the pros and cons of telling them now or waiting until 12 weeks?

I told them quiet early on maybe 7 weeks because i’d been feeling awful nausea, it helped people understand why i was being the way i was and wasn’t just being moody or couldn’t be bothered! i’d like to say they were helpful with my issues like food smells but sadly they didn’t seem to be very sensitive around this but i guess that’s because not many people at my work have children so know how it feels to feel the way i was x

I told my work and they've been so amazing. I work in a kitchen which is fast paced so I have to be relatively careful with heavy lifting so it was the safest option for me x

Pregnant after 2 missed periods!!!

For context: My last cycle was Feb. 12th. I had a blood test on March 25th it was negative. On Mother’s Day I went to the ER for chest pain. The doctor comes in and says “ congratulations you’re pregnant!”. I didn’t believe her so she did an ultrasound. This is my 3rd and has never happened to me. I struggle with fertility, as I have PCOS now called PEMS.

Has this happened to anyone else? No cycle and ended up pregnant?

Who should be next?

I booked a nail appointment for 10am. Walked in at 9.50am behind another lady who didn't have an appointment. The 5 technicians were already busy. When one was finished, the lady without the appointment was sat before me. Surely if you have an appointment you should be next?
I ended up waiting until 10.25 before I was sat in a chair.
I know it's not first world problems, but who should be sat first? 😂

Body scans at airports while pregnant

I’m travelling tomorrow and I know I’ll have to go through a body scanner. But I don’t feel comfortable doing that specially in my very early pregnancy. When I was 8 months pregnant with my first I asked to opt out but they kinda refused and said it’s safe and that I will get more radiation from the plane.
What are your thoughts? Did you go through them or asked to opt out?
