Scared to tell manager I’m pregnant

As the title says… I’ve been back from my first maternity leave for four months and I’m 9 weeks pregnant. I think I should tell work but I’m terrified.

Im so worried they will be annoyed as I’ve just come back. Also, I’m waiting for a promotion to get signed off and worried they will backtrack on this.

I have awful sickness, it lasts all day, so far I’ve been managing just about but it’s getting worse and next week I’m supposed to be in the office for two days. I have no idea how I will manage this. I want to ask for mitigation against going in to the office. My dr has also offered me a sick note, so far I’ve knocked it back but I may need to go ahead with it.

DH thinks I should keep quiet until 25 weeks but he’s not the one feeling so terrible!

How can you view yourself as being potentially unreasonable? Lots of women have babies a couple of years apart. It’s normal.

Id leave telling them until 20 weeks. Unless you’re too unwell, then let them know sooner.
