When to tell my manager

[MumDSDD]

It's very early and I have only just found out im pregnant (roughly 4 weeks) but I'm wondering when others told work,
The job I do is care but people I care for can get physical and have to be restrained at times,
What would you do in this situation, I would like to keep it quiet for longer but I know risk assessments can be put in place if I was to tell work

Really depends on how you feel. If you think you would benefit from reasonable adjustments straight away then tell them around 6 weeks. 4 is a little early, 6 you can identify a heartbeat.

If you're in no rush, most people for 13w. You've had your dating scan and results of screening tests.

I wasn't going to tell just yet anyway but was just curious as like I say my job can encounter physical violence and having to restrain

@MumDSDD if that's the case, perhaps you should share sooner than later. It's probably best you don't get put in those sorts of situations where someone is known to be physical

Your work has a legal duty of care to you to provide a safe working environment during pregnancy. If they don’t already have a risk assessment and reasonable adjustments plan in place for this situation they will need to formulate one pronto. I would tell them as soon as you are comfortable.
