AIBU because I dont want to tell work I'm pregnant

I'm still in the first trimester and experiencing quite bad pregnancy symptoms. Its resulted in me being late for work on a number occasions. I've told the Hr manager and made him aware, he was fine with it and understanding. I have now on a few occasions been pestered by a senior manager asking me questions about why I'm late. I told my manager that I'd spoken to HR and they were aware with my situation however he kept pestering me to tell him. All this was in the an area where other colleagues and people could overhear the conversation. I refused to tell him anything. I could tell from his expression he hated this lack if power and control. Later on that day I get an email from him saying I was rude.

I wasnt rude I was incredibly professional considering how rude he was. Its stressing me out that I've got to work alongside him knowing that hes being a prick to me unnecessarily.

The manager was in the wrong for asking in front of others.

They were not in the wrong for asking. Your reasoning that a manager should not be able to discuss habitual lateness with a direct report is extremely odd.

Your manager should know. That said I would be emailing him back after his email saying he was rude and telling him his behaviour was rude as well. If he wishes to discuss anything with you it should be done in private not in a room with others listening
