Becoming Pregnant in the Workplace

I am 7 weeks pregnant. I informed my boss this morning, I wanted to wait till my third trimester was completed. I chose to tell him this morning due to my horrible morning (all day) sickness. He seemed super supportive and excited for me. Does anyone have experience with this and has anyone felt they would be treated differently after becoming pregnant?

First of all, congratulations! I've also had great experiences after telling colleagues, management and HR I was pregnant. I hope the same for you! Please keep us posted.

I've had good experiences with both of my pregnancies; with my first I took nap breaks in my office because I was so very tired. I think people tend to be more solicitous especially if you are visibly under-the-weather or have a basketball belly.

No experience here, but just wanted to drop in to say congrats on your pregnancy! So glad to hear your boss handled the news well. :)
