Scared of telling work I'm pregnant

Newly pregnant - but scared of telling work.

I’m 5 weeks 3 days pregnant.

I’m already scared of telling my work I’m pregnant, I’ve been there for 5 months. We don’t have a probation period we just have formal monthly 1:1s and weekly informal catch ups.

My formal 1:1s have been perfect since I’ve started, teething issues & room for improvement in minor areas- but overall my manager is super happy.

I’m just worried that this would change if I say I’m pregnant, my manager hasn’t got kids of her own as she doesn’t ‘like’ children. She often asks how my eldest daughter is though, so I think it’s more so ‘off her own’.

I’m scared & i know they can’t discriminate, but I’m scared she will find a way to manage me out.

Well it's literally how the human race works, I'm sure it will be completely fine. You don't need to tell them for at least a couple of months, and you'll have been there over a year when mat leave starts. Don't worry!
