re: Telling work my eggo is prego...when?

Quoting Mrs. Dexter Morgan:" I got ripped off! I conceived on birth control and only had the one because heart beats were consistent."

I know most of the time they won't do it because insurance won't pay.

Quoting Mrs. Dexter Morgan:" Unless its your first pregnancy, you don't get an early ultrasound. "

I got a early u/s with my youngest. Some places do it right then and there if they have the machine.

That's true. I didn't have the best insurance.

I think Mari was right, depends on insurance.

Well, when I took my test it was right after I got off my graveyard shift at Arbys, and I was like 6 weeks along when I found out. I was so excited, that when SO asked if I'd go buy him a pack of cigs, since I woke him up and showed him the news I just went straight up to where I was working and it was a gas station/Arbys. I told my GM that day, and she gave me a hug and said congrats. So I pretty much told them right when I found out. I was too excited to contain it, hell now that I think about it I told EVERYONE I could think of to tell lol. But that is just me. They can't fire you for being pregnant, so I figure why not?

I was planning on telling them around the 12 week mark, after the most delicate period is over. With my first pregnancy, I immediately told EVERYONE I knew. I was only like 5 weeks. Luckily everything went alright, and I didn't have to go back and tell all those people that something bad had happened. I'm just a little more cautious and such this time around. I'm keeping it off of Facebook for as long as possible for now. The only thing is, my best friend works with me (she knows) and I am so nervous she will accidentally say something in front of our coworkers.

My OB gives an untrasound to date the pregnancy and check for hb at the first visit (depending on gestation, may be vaginal or abdominal u/s) Then one at the mid-point for gender reveal/routine visual check. my immediate family knows at this point, but no one else (except you guys   ) I'd just hate for my boss to get angry that I didn't say something (which she's usually very understanding). What exactly is and when are the lifting restrictions? Working at a Dr's office, I may be put in the situation to assist people.

With being in the army I had to tell once I found out and where I work is like a big high school so my entire work area found out and I didn't want them too but they had to know why I couldn't show up for pt or else I'd be considered AWOL but other than that I was going to wait until I was 12 to 14 weeks to tell anyone

What about my 40lb toddler??? I pick her up all the time. Kind of hard to avoid ha.

Dont do anything your body is not use too.

my work found out from someone else lol. I called corporate to ask a quick question about medical leave. they answered it and all that but then the next day i went to work and my boss was like "umm i got an email saying you are pregnant"

Wow, that sounds like a violation of your privacy.

Quoting Mrs. Dexter Morgan:" That's true. I didn't have the best insurance."

Neither did I, my OB told me the circumstances when my insurance would cover ultrasounds and that they wouldn't just cover an early ultrasound for no reason but I have a history of miscarriage so I get an ultrasound as soon as I go to my first prenatal appointment.

thats what i thought...but its wendys. they are screwed up anyways lol

That is also a question I have heard of being asked. Well another thing as well is that I have heard (do quote if I am wrong) is that if you are already used to it then you should be fine. Personally me I don't have any children except the little one on the way. So therefore when I pick up anyone elses children I have to be super cautious since it's not what I am completely used to. So I would say it's probably ok, and if you are unsure, I would call the ob office and ask them what they would recommend your limit to be. Hope this helps.
