Coping with Pregnancy at Work
How to tell your boss that you’re pregnant
Whenever you decide the time has come to “go public” about your pregnancy, make sure you tell your boss first so she doesn’t hear about it through the office grapevine, says Dr. Greenfield. “It’s very unprofessional if she finds out from someone other than you.”
When it comes to how you approach your employer, Dr. Greenfield says it’s usually best to make it a formal process. “Sit down with your boss, tell her when you’re due and share any ideas you may have for how you’re going to get work covered when you have to be out of the office. It shows you’re thinking about it and is a sign you’re committed to your job.”
