Something like 24 weeks or maybe later.

Both times around 14 weeks except my direct supervisor always knew sooner, due to appointments and not feeling well.

@skinnycow: well my close coworkers knew (I told them at 15 weeks) but my boss didn’t because I didn’t actually see him very often.

1st pregnancy - my boss knew by 6 weeks since he knew we were going through fertility treatments. Didn't tell anyone else until 10 weeks.

2nd pregnancy (different company) - one coworker knew at 6 weeks because she knew we were doing fertility treatments. I told my boss around 8 weeks because the morning sickness was horrible. The rest of the office found out at 12 weeks when I couldn't hide it anymore.

I told work at 13 weeks with my first and at 16 weeks with my second. I waited longer with my second because I had two losses in between my first and second kids and didn't want to have to share if the pregnancy wasn't successful. My male boss remarked that 16 weeks was so soon to share (huh? he thought women usually waited until 20 weeks!) but all the female partners told me that they had known for weeks by just looking at me.

With my first, I told my coworkers when I was around 15-16 weeks. With my second (I was already with a new employer), I think it was a little earlier, about 13 weeks, although my closer friends at work had guessed at my pregnancy much earlier on since suddenly I was feeling ill and had changed some of my eating habits.

I told my boss around 6ish weeks for the same reason as @Sams Mom: in fact my boss knew before our parents did. I told my team around 10 weeks after I graduated from the RE and my dept at around 13 at our last dept meeting before summer break b/c I didn't want to tell everyone individually or have people speculating.

@skinnycow: 20 weeks to make sure my teaching schedule was 100% solidified in late August. I didn't want to be stuck teaching a new course or god forbid the 9th graders so I got my schedule and told my principal the next day. It ended up being a total shit show b/c my school was under construction and it was a DISASTER, so I took mental health leave because I could not relax in the building. We had to find a highly qualified sub to teach the University class I was so set on teaching and it was a nightmare. I feel bad but it worked out bc we did eventually find a sub.

I waited until 16 weeks when I felt like I couldn't hide it anymore.

With LO1 I was about 16 weeks. With LO2 I told my boss at 6 weeks because I had to bow out of some duties (listeria concerns primarily). Fortunately that got me out of a lot of travel during my morning sickness.

With my first, at 12 weeks because I was so excited to share. My second, around 13 weeks, but nobody was surprised, apparently there was some speculation because I had gained some weight and was eating saltines all the time.

Idk when I did but it was in my second trimester I think. Only because I had a job where I delt with dogs and sometimes I needed help with the big ones. It was very physically demanding. I only told my boss though. I didnt care if everyone else knew and I would have told them sooner, it just never came up in conversation. I didnt know how to tell people without it being weird. Most women that I worked with were young and in collage like i was and when they found out most of them didn't really care...not in a mean way...they just were still in the party phase and I wasnt due to being pregnant. One girl said "cool" and that was it lol
