Telling Your Boss You're Pregnant

The best way to tell your boss you're pregnant is in a straightforward way. This is not the time for cute announcements. You want to be sure to tell your boss before you tell your other co-workers; this is definitely not something you want him or her to hear through the grapevine! Some women feel they are inconveniencing their boss or company by having a baby. Remind yourself that you have nothing to apologize for and don't act as if you do.

Most women prefer to wait until the second trimester to talk to their boss. Tell your boss your due date and if you plan to return to work after the baby, make sure you mention that.
