He needed to tell him about taking paternity leave since they book things on his calendar up to 9 months in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-326423 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:43:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 326423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We told both our employers once we got past the 1st trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321371 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 18:49:58 +0000 petuniasandpearls 321371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he mentioned it casually to some co-workers after our 13 week ultrasound. His job is flexible though, so he had already been to a few appointments with me before he told people we were expecting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321294 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 16:49:07 +0000 leelee 321294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH told his boss when we were 6 weeks because he wanted some time off to go with me to dr appts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321255 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 16:16:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 321255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was around 16-20 weeks. I don't remember because some people didn't find out until 20 weeks, but we heard the heartbeat at 14 weeks which is when we started telling people.</p> <p>She was excited though. He just brought DS into work with him yesterday to show him off and all his coworkers went gaga over him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321249 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 16:14:21 +0000 autumnlove 321249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I am happy that he can take a month too! However, I was ready to kill him at 3 weeks when LO was born. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321203 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:48:14 +0000 shinystraps 321203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 7 weeks - we had an ultrasound appointment at 8 weeks that he wanted to be with me for, as we weren't sure at that point whether I was having a miscarriage or not, and he needed the time off. His boss is a woman with two children, and she has been great, very supportive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321189 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:38:24 +0000 Adira 321189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs told his boss a week after I told mine, so around 15 weeks. He's also planning on taking a month off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321158 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:15:30 +0000 GrapeCrush 321158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he told his work before i told mine! lol i just didn't feel like opening all the questions(i work in a small office with lots of ladies) and hate the attention so i was putting it off as long as possible! lol but it was around 12 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321088 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:38:55 +0000 Mrs. Blue 321088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. Actually, my boss told his boss the same day I broke the news. His office has all been dying for us to have a baby though, so his boss was excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321086 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:38:43 +0000 blackbird 321086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He hasn't told them yet! i'm 14 weeks. he doesn't have to notify his manager when he's leaving for a dr's appointment, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321056 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:26:00 +0000 sslm 321056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we miscarried he needed some time off so he told his boss the real reason (his boss did not know we were pregnant). This time, he told his boss at 8 weeks bc we had a few appointments and didn't want him to speculate. His boss knew before mine did!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321049 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:23:35 +0000 prettylizy 321049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure his boss found out from my boss (we work for the same company in different offices and our bosses confer on a lot of things) but it wasn't official in either of our offices until I was 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321047 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:23:14 +0000 Mrsbells 321047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited till 18 weeks. I still wasnt showing by then</p> <p>Ok I think I misread the question. DH told them much later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321046 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:21:37 +0000 DillonLion 321046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 Weeks. </p> <p>I am jealous that your DH gets to take a whole month off! Mine is only taking a week and I am already paranoid about him leaving us to go back to work so quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321045 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:21:04 +0000 lovehoneybee 321045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He told everyone at his job when I was about 8 weeks...he said he was too excited to wait any longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321040 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:20:15 +0000 wheres_c 321040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 12 weeks I guess? I had a few doctors appointments he needed to attend and we were also both invited to happy hour and it would have come up why I wasnt drinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321024 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:14:27 +0000 heffalump 321024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks I think, maybe even a little earlier because he was out a lot to go to doctors apts with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321022 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:13:10 +0000 pl0508 321022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>after our 11 week ultrasound ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321021 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:13:07 +0000 MaisyMay 321021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pretty sure that Hubs told his boss around 7 or 8 weeks just because of how excited we were and how many appointments Hubs would need to go to. Now his boss is also my boss, so it worked out really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321016 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:07:55 +0000 LemonLong 321016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say pretty early- like six or so weeks. He was so excited about it, and wanted to make sure he could make it to my appointments. His boss has kids so she's awesome with giving him advice and giving him time off/suspending travel for him through this pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321013 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:02:52 +0000 mediagirl 321013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 12 weeks, as well. I cried when I told my boss. Haha!!</p> <p>ETA: Oh, you said SO. At 12 weeks, as well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321012 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:02:48 +0000 aprk 321012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty early, about 6 weeks. He wanted to take time off to go to my first midwife appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321011 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:02:44 +0000 AprilK 321011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think Hubs told his boss until I was like 6 mos pregnant. I think we were going to see him for something, and I was like... you should probably tell him. He was like "Guys don't talk abou this stuff!!" haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-so-tell-their-employer-about-your-pregnancy#post-321007 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 13:58:36 +0000 autumnlove 321007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is going to tell his boss about my pregnancy in about 2 weeks when I'm 12 weeks pregnant. We wanted to wait til my 2nd Trimester but his boss will be leaving for a longish vacation soon and we are sure he will want the heads up. DH is planning to take a month off and they will need to arrange for per diem coverage, etc.</p> <p>When did your SO tell their employer about your pregnancy? </p>
