When to tell employer

I’d probably tell them fairly early, but only when you feel comfortable — perhaps after your first scan. ❤️ You don’t have to tell them immediately, and you’re still protected from pregnancy discrimination from the start of your employment; however, once they know, it’s easier to arrange time off for antenatal appointments and scans. So if you’re happy to share it, telling them after your first scan could be a nice middle ground: you’ve had a little time to settle into the job, but they know early enough to support you.

NHS recommendation that you can tell the employer 15 weeks before your due date, so you'll have plenty of time to tell your employer and you can assess your current pregnancy progress x

I have had horrible sickness from week 5 of the pregnancy so I decided to tell my employer at week 6 which I know is super early but I work as a teacher so needed the extra support. I did work at the school for 2 years at the time which is different to your situation. It is completely your choice when you tell your employer but I found in my situation it was really helpful with arranging doctors appointments etc due to the sickness that was also the time we were assembling GCSE classes and timetable for the following year so I wanted to make sure they do not assign me to any new classes as I wouldn't be there! X maybe see how you go- if you feel unwell or feel like you need extra support might be worth telling them sooner if you feel ok then might be good to wait till after your first scan, this way you will be able to provide your employer with due date etc and will give you time to wrap your head around the new job and the pregnancy x

My husband is a manager at a company and I've just asked him. He says if you have a probation period tell them after that. But he also said don't tell them before you've started because they could pull the job and tell you it's no longer available.
