I've just found out I'm pregnant after a number of losses. I'm keen not to tell anyone (including work) until I'm well into the 2nd trimester (if I make it that far).
My problem is that because of a pre-existing medical condition and also my previous losses, I will be having hospital antenatal appointments at least every two weeks, possibly every week. In my experience, these appointments can take anywhere from 45 minutes to half a day (seeing a number of different specialists, scans, tests, waiting time etc).
I'm worried that work will not be impressed with me taking this time off and may put pressure on me to re-arrange/cancel appointments to attend customer meetings etc.
I'm hoping that when I tell them why they will be understanding and accommodating (although not sure what to do if they're not...) but wracking my brain to figure out how I can get around telling them in the first few months.
Any advice please?
