Just asking for a gentle response and support as this week I really really have to tell my new employers that I am pregnant. I don't start work til 10th September and by then I will be 19 weeks 
.
By way of background, I already have a DD who is 2.2yo. The job is a training scheme with a government department that lasts 4 years, followed by guaranteed good permanent job provided I pass the exams - so the expectation is that I will be there long term, plus it's a huge public sector organisation, not a one man band who will be financially crippled by my position. From my understanding, the first 2 years of training is pretty much academic work and study, with a few work tasks that are more designed to help your learning rather than contribute to the work of the team (if that makes sense) so hopefully it won't leave a big pile of work for someone else to pick up.
My intention is to work for this organisation til retirement - it's something I really do want to do and it will be flexible hours, lots of scope for part time work (once qualified) and variety - it's as close to my dream job as I am ever going to find in the real world. The recruitment process took 7 months in total and I fell pregnant 2 weeks after being offered the position.
Has anyone else found themselves in this position ever? Please tell me it will be okay...
