I'm self employed but do the bulk of my work for one company.
I'm 16 weeks' pregnant and in a moment of weakness confided in one of my male colleagues before Christmas.
It was my first day back after Christmas today. Said colleague (after blatantly and unsubtly checking out my midriff) cornered me in the tea room and said I was obliged to tell the boss, saying 'when he finds out, he'll wonder why you didn't say anything sooner'.
I got a bit mardy (feeling very cross lately!) and said I was under no obligation to tell my boss as I was self employed etc etc. My colleague said he agreed but looked a bit put out.
But am I right? When do I need to tell my boss? This is probably a stupid question as I probably only have a month before it becomes obvious anyway.
Thanks
