I'm really nervous about telling my boss I'm pregnant...

I work at a non-profit that helps children and am surrounded by women but none have taken maternity leave here and my boss is woman but has no kids. Any advice on how to break the news?

Soooo many women feel this way. I'm a second time mom and I'm still scared to break the news! It's amazing...I think of myself as confident but I think the reality is that people judge you when you're pregnant and thats why were all so nervous about sharing the news

I am in this same situation. Boss and everyone that I work does not have children under the age of 25. It is so intimidating when you are the first and only to go down this road at the workplace. All of the advice is 'talk to coworkers who have taken maternity leave'. I haven't said anything to anyone yet, too scared that this point....
