I know lots of people have posted about this before but I really could do with some advice/support regarding my own current situation.
I am approx 8 weeks pregnant and relocating. The organisation where I have worked for 10 years had a vacancy in the new area so I applied.
I love my organisation and this job is a promotion so more money but also in a dream role. I got the job.
The problem is now I feel I am a liar for accepting the role knowing I will be leaving on maternity.
The pregnancy was not planned, my husband and I already have three older (between 9-14) children between us but this would be our first child together. He is over the moon, he is a fabulous Dad and I know he will support me. We have agreed after this though he is getting the snip!
It’s just the guilt of letting my new colleagues down, it’s a vulnerable sector that I work in and resources are tight. That said I fully intend to return after my maternity and really want this opportunity to demonstrate my commitment.
My husband is saying I can’t tell them until the contracts are signed, I am just worried that by the time I do tell them it will be obvious I must have known for a while and they will question my integrity.
Sorry for rambling post, I’m not sleeping through worrying about this. Any advice would be welcome.
