Really need help!

[laurajane89]

Hello ladies, i currently have a 8month old son and am on maternity leave and am due to go back to work next week but...i have just found out that i am 2months pregnant. I am so scared to tell my boss. Can i get into trouble? Please help me! x

They might not be pleased but legally you're fine. You also don't have to tell them for ages yet.

Congratulations! ! No you are absolutely fine.
Your boss may be a little peeved but tough on him or her. Do not necessarily panic - the law is totally on your side.

When do i need to tell them?

And it might make planning for cover easier

Thankyou, so i wont get sacked?

Erm week 26 I think but not surr

Definitely not! Whatsort of company do you work for?

Oh right

Retail

Aldi

Congratulations btw.

Sacking you would be against the law!

Dont assume im right about 26 weeks.
Is it a big employer? Do you have an hr dept? What is yiur boss like in general?

Thankyou

I work for aldi, my boss is normally okay bt can b moody most of the time

I was in a similar position once - DS1 was 12m old when I went back to work 3m pregnant with DS2. DS1 was concieved with medical intervention - DS2 was a surprise!

My boss was NOT happy. He didn't say anything to me and I didn't get in any trouble but there was a lot of behind the scenes muttering with our bigger boss which I was aware of in the background.

Don't sweat it. They can't fire you and your family is more important.

I feel terrible because i love my job, i feel like im letting my work team down
