People have been super nice to me at work since I announced my pregnancy. Not that they weren't nice before, but still. However, I've worked harder during pregnancy than ever before! Not really anyone's fault, just the way that my workload panned out. At 30w, seems to (maybe?) be easing up a bit and I plan to start leaving the office at 5/5:30.
How has your worklife been in pregnancy?

I work from a home office most of the time, so many of my co-workers don't even know I'm pregnant (I'm 24 weeks now). And when I do go into the office, I still only see most of my co-workers waist-up, over video (I work for a video conferencing company). So I think it's been about the same nice-ness level for me.

Hurmm. I didn't notice people at work being nicer to me.. They were more understanding when I screwed up though. 
Pregnancy brain.

Totally! The owner, who normally ignores anything other than his self actually cleaned up water I spilled accidentally today for me because he didn't want me to have to bend over!!

No change at all--except when I first announced they kept treating my like I was humpty dumpty about to fall. Now they treat me normally (but I tired so much easier now. Bummer)

I think everyone in general has been nicer to me since I've been pregnant. People at work are more pleasant, although work has been crazy busy lately!

Everyone has been really nice to me since I announced my pregnancy... although starting a few weeks ago my supervisor has barely been able to contain his laughter every time I walk into a room. Apparently my big rolly poly belly and preggo waddle are very funny. Ugh.

Not at all. In fact, one of the guys told me I looked "rough" the other day. So that was nice. They also like to mock my waddle.
I work in construction, though, so it's not like I 'm dealing with a bunch of gentlemen here.

My supervisor got back from maternity leave in mid-January--so we have daily baby conversations. I work in a small department of all women who are really great. The co-worker I share space with has gone out and bought me brownies when I'm craving them 
They've all been great.
But my workload has been crazy because it's a busy time here for us, plus I'm the only person who knows how to do a lot of my job, so I'm training and writing up how-to documents for everyone. I've been working until 8 some nights!

No, they were horrible to me. They treated me far worse after I announced my pregnancy. In fact, they let me go at 34 weeks pregnant. It was ugly.

I have a client that has moved to annoying the crud out of me since me getting pregnant & as I get closer she gets more annoying! lol
She's a women's health practitioner & for the last 4 weeks she asks me MULTIPLE times while I'm there "Having any contractions?....."
Ugh I wish she'd just let me work! lol

Everyone has been awesome since I announced I was pregnant. I was so sick and everyone has been so understanding. My manager has been particularly awesome since I have had to reduce my schedule and then go off early.

When I worked they actually worked me harder to make sure I got a ton of stuff done before baby, so they really weren't a ton nicer.
