I found out 2 days after accepting the job offer. I'll be starting the job after new year and obviously will need to request time off shortly after I start for the scan.
I've been worrying about this and considered not taking the new job, but I realised that would be wrong. I'm not overly anxious or pessimistic about the pregnancy, but no one knows how it will go! I told myself, imagine having to go through pregnancy loss AND staying stuck in the old shitty job. Touch wood everything is fine and progresses normally. But I know I'll feel so awkward and guilty having to tell them I'll be gone soon enough!
I know it's perfectly legal and above board on paper to start a new job pregnant, but I guess it is inconvenient and annoying for an employer. They are a good company and include gender equality in their mission statement but still I'm so anxious about telling them.
Anyone experienced this, either employee or employer?
