I told my boss around 15 weeks. I basically asked if I could meet with him and then went into his office, closed the door (and made him nervous I was quitting, haha), and then told him I was pregnant! He was so happy for me! And then later that day, I told my immediate team during a meeting we had that I was pregnant. And the rest of my team, I didn't really announce it to them, though I'm sure they knew by my growing stomach. I eventually announced at 20 weeks that I was having a boy during a team meeting, so everyone knew after that.

I told my coworker first, like right away. We can't keep secrets from each other (she told me the day she POTS.) I told my boss about 8 weeks in because I was having horrible M/S and he knew something was up. I had to walk/run by his office several times to the bathroom, so there was really no hiding it for me. I was sick all day long for about 14 weeks.

I told my boss first separately, then announced to the rest of the team at a weekly staff meeting.

ETA: I was 10 weeks along

I went into my bosses office and asked him if we would mind if I took some time off in September for a while and held up my scan pic with a big smile. I was 14 weeks. For everyone else I just said "now I've told the boss I can tell you too" and pulled out the scan pics.
I really struggled to say the words "I'm pregnant" as I was so nervous, so my scan pics pretty much told the world

Love hearing what other people have done, as I've been curious about this too.

I think I'll probably wait to tell my boss until the second tri, then tell one or two closer coworkers and just let it trickle out from there.

I plan some events at my work, so around 20w (May) I sent an email around regarding an event in October. At the time we were getting hounded working outside of our normal hours, so opened the email with "no evening hours, overnights, or weekends required on your behalf, it's all on me, see attached" and then attached an ultrasound pic with due date. People came running to my office and it was splashy enough for me, only did it to direct colleagues, let the word spread otherwise!

At 19w or so with #2 we had a Christmas party and there was a game of baby pics and matching them to adult us. I sent an email with "one last baby pic" to that same smaller group after the party, but this time hid in another office and giggled with that colleague while we listened to people scampering around going office to office until the found me.

My bosses knew already at this point, I told them individually and we are pretty close.

well i showed up to my first day at my new job in the start of my third trimester so i pretty much announced it like that (my boss already knew as I told her in an email right after I was hired over email). Though I didn't know if she would have told everyone else and it turns out she hadn't so they found out when i walked in.

for my next pregnancy, i think i will wait to announce until i have finalized when i am taking my mat leave and tell my boss first along with giving her my formal notice. And then just tell my coworkers individually. i don't like having everyone's attention on me at all once.

I told my boss privately, but then when I was ready for everyone I worked with to know, I just told the biggest gossiper in there. Word spread pretty quickly after that

I didn't "announce" (I'm a very private person at work), but I was super sick from day 1 so I ended up telling my boss around 6 weeks because his office was next to mine and I'm sure he could hear me barfing all day lol he didn't tell many people, I was showing and people were asking when I was due and how far along I was by 12-14 weeks.

Even if it weren't for her, I'm not sure if I'd make a huge announcement. I try to keep my private life and my work life very separate, so unless it applied to my work load (which it did when I had my MC), I have a feeling I still wouldn't say anything until I thought people were wondering why I was getting so fat.

I work from home so it's a little different. I told my boss around 11 weeks since I was on PTO at 12 weeks. I told three coworkers during meetings with them (we're on a team together and meet with some customers, etc) and maybe one or two on the phone. I joked at a team meeting around 20 weeks that I was naming her something having to do with our company (a play on words) and a few of them were all "whoa, you're pregnant!?" I wanted to be like "oh so you just think I'm fat?!" It's prettttttttty much always awkward with work, no matter what!

I'm a teacher and I was afraid my high school students would start rumors so I told my principal after my 1st ultrasound at 9 weeks. I had already told three coworkers because I was very sick right from the beginning. I began telling the rest of my coworkers around 13 weeks and then I just waited for the students to bring it up once I started really showing!

I told my new boss at 5 weeks, but my situation was super weird. I had an informational meeting with a job one Friday and then the following Saturday had a meeting to discuss my offer... I found out I was pregnant the Saturday in between.

I didn't tell the job I was leaving until after my 12 week scan - I did tell my counter-part in my position, but that was only because I had HG and was throwing up ~ 20 times a day at the office. Obviously my production level wasn't what it used to be . When I told at 12 weeks everyone was shocked.

ETA: I have not told clients yet - although many guess at this point (22 weeks and I work with primarily doctors). I've been pretty laissez faire about telling people in general.

I told my boss around 12/13 weeks. As for my co-workers, I figured they could tell by my large belly.

With my first, I called my boss (he worked on the opposite coast) and told him I wanted to discuss a "project I was working on". Later that week,as part of a daily email I had to send to my team, I included a picture from my recent vacation of my feet, my husbands feet and baby footprints with the due date. This was around 14 weeks
For my second, I got laid off at 7 weeks (but asked to stay for 2 more months) so I didn't tell my bosses at all. My local team took me out to lunch around 14 weeks and I told them at lunch and at the holiday party later that week, wore a tight maternity dress to let the rest of the local office know.

I told my boss early since he already knew we were going through fertility treatments. I'm glad I told him early though because I had horrible morning sickness and we were at our peak busy time for quarter end.

As for everyone else, I never really announced it. I told a couple people once I was past 12 weeks and then let them spread the news.

I brought leftover cupcakes to work and just told people why, when they came by to ask what they were for. I was 14/15 weeks and we had found out we were having a girl.

I told one of my coworkers at 5 weeks because of a spotting scare and I needed her to cover my shift... weeks later, word got out. I did tell my boss even though another coworker got to her first.
