I waited, 3 months maybe? nothing urgently came up, just told them when to expect my leave and then return. If you need anything else let me know!

Thanks!!! I just turned 12 weeks so I’m thinking of telling my SM real soon.

ASAP. The beginning of your pregnancy is the most important. You don’t want to be stuck doing clean play and whatnot. At least the first trimester you want to take it easy. Too much heavy lifting can cause a detachment, then a miscarriage can happen. I know this from personal experience.

I’m an opener so the one thing I am worried is just carrying boxes to put away in the morning. 12 weeks into pregnancy and I’m surviving! Definitely will let my manager soon. Thanks!!

From a legal perspective, you are never required to. You could go into labor in the bathroom and it's still none of their business. The choice is yours based on YOUR needs. Don't let anyone at the store tell you otherwise. Pregnancy is a protected class at the job site. (Disclaimer: not a mom. Just a protective workplace organizer and anti capitalist law student)

I am not against telling my partners about my pregnancy and definitely do not want to give birth in the bathroom so I want them to know. Thanks for your input

Then it's absolutely whenever you feel up to it. And congratulations by the way!! Babies are some of my favorite people.
