Telling employer I’m pregnant

[mummatosquish]

Did you put it in writing or just tell them verbally?

Verbally but then all communication regarding Mat leave and appointments etc was discussed then put on email for a paper trail.

Verbally

Same as @OnlyFoolsnMothers

I told my boss verbally and HR via an email to confirm due date formally for purposes of leave planning.

Verbally.
Then once you received your MATB1 your manager will send to HR and you then go through dates etc via email etc

Matb1 certicates aren’t issued until much later down your pregnancy c. 20+ wks, so you will need communication before this as to your plans

I sent my manager an email to let them know, then everything formal went through HR

I told my manager verbally. We then worked together on a pregnancy risk assessment for me that was in writing and sent to HR and when my Mat B-1 form was issued I had to send that to my manager and HR.

I'd go verbally first if I were you and then if they want/need it in writing then you can send an email.

I told my boss verbally then we completed a first trimester risk assessment which went to H&S.
So far nothing else has been in writing. When I apply fot mat leave that will be in an email.

Verbally but then keep everything in writing re: return to work dates/annual leave and be sure to understand your company's policy. Would have saved me a lot of hassle if I'd followed my own advice!
