7.5 month ago i gave birth to my DD, returned to work after 4,5 month and am now working on DC 2(successfully! im in week 8).
this was totally planned and im overjoyed as i really wanted my babies to be close in age and hopefully become great friends.
however, while i was trying i was all bragging about how i wont let my worklife dictate my family planning, and how i would rather that one employer will be "fucked" twice than having one child at each job, bla bla bla - but now its getting closer to truth-time, i feel really uncomfortable telling my boss that im pregnant AGAIN...
I feel that i am letting her down which i thought i wouldnt care about as its not such a great job, but turns out i do care.
im not really sure ill manage to lie convincingly that it was unplanned-its kind of obvious im not that kind of person...
anyway, im a total wuss!
so, how would you tell her? let it leak? let it become obvious? offer to quit?
and if this happened to you were you ever taken seriously again or did you feel the consequences when you came back from mat leave?

arg! im dreading week twelve and im starting to show!help!

had to post, i effin hate mumsnet sometimes why is the OP always subject to scrunity, ffs how very supportive guys. FULLIFE just tell your boss your in your rights, but if it makes you feel a bit better and you feel it would ease the opinions if you DID say it wasnt planned so what, your only human we all have to look out for ourselves, i got pregnant 3 months into a 2 year fixed term contract and hell yeah i planned it, i didnt tell them that though because I know what they would think...
