When do I HAVE to tell work?

Simple as that really... Is there a point where legally to have to inform your work? I'm still in my 3 month probation and was going to try and hold out till that's over. Am 15 weeks now and have about 6 weeks to go until probation is up! I know they cant sack u for being pregnant but they can let u go for amyway....ahh

Congrats on the pregnancy!

You have to tell them at least 15 weeks before the beginning of the week of your due date, so I think you're ok to wait until after your probation period (which is agree is a good idea!)

I think it's 15 weeks before your due date. I know it's surprisingly late anyway.
Do you think you can hide it for another 6 weeks?

Just wait another 6 weeks. I suggest cardigans and suit jackets. Maybe a pretty neck scarf to detract attention. Do not pat the bump!

Congratulations. I didn't disclose until after my second scan, no suspicions. I did yoga to help with posture.

25 weeks. I told them about 22 as they weren't very helpful previous pregnancy. I was a little bigger at that point but nothing any else would have noticed.

And if anyone questioned why you'd waited so long you can say you were waiting till after your 20 week scan.
