Just found out I'm pregnant with second baby
Hi all!
I have posted this in another group but thought I would ask in here since I'm a nurse.
Basically I've just found out I'm pregnant with our second. However, I have only been in my current role for 6 months! I am incredibly nervous to tell my employer and it's putting a bit of a dampener on my news!
Has anybody got pregnant this soon into a new role and been met with a good reaction? 🙈. I know that pregnancy is a protected characteristic and all that but I get how it would be frustrating for a manager too. This has happened much sooner than we anticipated!
Hey, I started a new role last October and fell pregnant in January (found out mid Feb). My line manager was delighted for me and knows that I am in the role/team for the long haul and maternity leave is only temporary. Also from a maternity pay point of view, as long as you’ve been in the role for 6 months by week 25 of your pregnancy then you’re fine 🙂
