When shld you tell your boss about pregnancy?

Hi all, just want to know if most of you tell your bosses about yr pregnancy only after 12 weeks or as soon as you have your first gynae check?

I think bosses would appreciate if you inform them as soon as possible so that they can make arrangements for your maternity leave especially. Do keep in mind that you will have to go for baby appts throughout your whole pregnancy which you’ll have to take AL or MC and might get morning sickness which might lead to MC again..so I’d rather my boss know of my pregnancy early so that he/she will understand if I’m not able to come to work the next day. Also, some bosses are kind enough to lessen your workload or might give you early release when you’re pregnant so I guess that’s a good one right there. Whenever you feel is the right time to tell your boss, just do so. I’d say majority will tell right after they found out they’re confirmed pregnant.
