I informed my employer when I found out I was pregnant. I'm thankful they were very supportive and kept me away from heavy duty work (like carrying items) and I also excused myself from many work events that have massive crowd. My co workers also started keeping out for me and really took good care of me during the time. As a responsibility, informing employer early will also ensure they have ample time to plan for your work while you are away. I would suggest no later than 4 months.

I also informed my direct supervisor when I found out I was pregnant at week 4 . My supervisor was very supportive and similarly, didn’t let me carry heavy stuff and was very concerned if I needed rest or breaks. I think it’s good to be open because sometimes it shows that we genuinely want their support and also we are not trying to just quickly go on ML. Instead letting them know early is so that they can consider how to assign work. My supervisor literally told me her initial long term plans and let me choose what i feel i can take on.
