I think going off your updates, I would just make a realistic schedule and then in 4 weeks, tell them the news and say you are happy to either rework the schedule or work OT (if you are able to, that is.) Basically give them the info when YOU'RE ready and then give suggestions for how you feel comfortable handling it.

Yay. I was just going to say that when I went on leave, my manager just added additional resources to cover my work since it was critical it finished on time. So when you are planning, you just think of it as 1 developer rather than Adira the developer.

@sunny: That's a very good point! I'll make the schedule assuming one developer - not necessarily me!

@Adira: I would tell whoever needs to know right away. If it were me, I'd tell my boss and then let him inform whoever on the project needs to know. Tell him/her you'd like to keep the information confidential to the extent possible, and document the conversation in writing if you have concerns about your job security. I told my boss at 5 weeks (I was REALLY sick and it was REALLY busy at work) and my job knew I was pregnant 10 weeks before our families. It just made my life easier that way. I'm so glad I did, because now I have complications that may make my presence at work iffy the next few months but its not a completely unexpected thing since everyone knows I am pregnant. And I don't even have a timelined project!
