Torn on what to do...advice SERIOUSLY needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Original post by Mitabtrfly
Hi everyone,
Ok so as most of you know/remember, I started a new job last week. Prior to my starting, I found out I was pregnant. I haven't mentioned anything to my new employer yet, because: 1. I'm still very early in the pregnancy and am afraid it will jinx it. 2. I'm not sure how they are going to react?
It's not like I knew when they offered me the position. I actually found out later on that same night and when I contacted my friend who works here as well, she said I shouldn't mention anything until I'm 3 months.
Now..I was reading an article in Parents magazine and saw this little section that said 'Many women choose to wait until they're through the first trimester, when the risk of miscarriage goes down significantly and they're more confident of keeping the pregnancy. On the other hand, consider how a new employer would feel when, several months after starting work, you reveal your pregnancy. The fact that you accepted the job without telling your employer you were pregnant could permanently damage your relationship'
Here's the thing, I accepted the job BEFORE I found out I was pregnant. I am so excited about this, and don't want my employer to be upset with me. What should I do?? HELP ME PLEASE!!!
