I can really understand why you're feeling overwhelmed right now, especially with the job timing. Legally you don't have to tell your employer until you're ready, but most mums find it helps to disclose once you're past the first trimester so there's less uncertainty for everyone. The thing is, every company handles maternity differently, so it might be worth having a quiet chat with HR to understand your specific entitlements and how they usually support pregnant staff, rather than worrying about what colleagues might think. A lot of workplaces are more supportive than we expect, and honestly you've got bigger things to focus on right now than office gossip. For now, maybe take things one step at a time and see how you're feeling physically and mentally in the coming weeks, then decide on the disclosure timeline that feels right for you.
