When did you inform your company that you are expecting?

Hi! May i know when is a good time to share with your company that you are pregnant? Is it after first trimester? I have worked in current company for 2 years and this is my second pregnancy. First one was with a different company and this will be my rainbow baby so i am very careful this time. Also, is it normal if some days i feel light cramps and some days i don't feel cramps at all? I felt like i'm overthinking by not feeling the cramps all day long 🫣

I informed my boss within the week as I work in the medical field and don’t want exposure to harsh activity or radiation. I will suggest informing boss as soon as you know, in case you have to take leave or sick leave. Informing your close co-workers is good as technically you spend most of the day at work, and they can look out for you. I felt light cramps my entire first trimester. It’s the kind when I would think my menses is coming, so it worried me so much. Honestly, would prefer not feeling the cramps. Don’t worry too much ya. May everything go smoothly

Just found out I’m expecting my #5 by accident… last pregnancy was 8yrs ago.. am holding back to inform my current company as I’m 2 mths short of completing my first yr. So likely wait till I’ve crossed the 12 week mark plus I wasn’t expecting to be pregnant and had taken some medicine which are not suitable and also undergo full GA few days back.

I'm planning to tell only after I have my pay and bonus letter in March.. I will be late 2nd tri by then. my boss is a single man with no children.. unlikely to understand. if your boss is a mother or father, usually will be more understanding

i told my manager im pregnant after i took the test kit..at work...i did not know i was pregnant but my workmates suspect i was as im soo moody and emotional.I even carried heavy things as well at work.its a good thing told them earlier..

I told my boss the next day after finding out im pregnant with my rainbow baby so that she will load me off. And also, don’t overthink too much! In sha Allah, everything will go smoothly! Allah knows best ☺️

After 12 weeks mark, just so they can be prepared for backup and stuff. I didn’t notice any cramps at all tbh. It’s not an indicator for anything.

Im currently at 14 weeks and I just informed my company about it. Best to always inform when ur pregnancy have stabilized.

Best to tell early to ease off some workload in case they are unreasonable.

I informed after i got my nipt result on week 16
