Hi everyone
I've signed up here having been to the doctors this morning, who confirmed I am 6 weeks pregnant My husband and I are over the moon, we have only been married just under 5 months and hadn't even started 'trying' yet!
So anyway I hope you don't mind (like I said I'm new to this), I have a few questions for you more experienced Mums-to-be
1. When did you all tell everyone, for me the thought of waiting 4-6 weeks is a nightmare, I'm sooooo excited DId you tell close family and friends straight away and then others after the first scan, or did you wait to tell everyone? I have this feeling my Mum will just 'know'.
2. When did you tell work? I work in an office (i.e. not manual work) so don't need to tell them straight away but I just wondered what usually happened. Tbh the company I work for has less than 20 staff, has been going for less than 10 years and as far as I'm aware they've never had anyone on maternity leave.
3. When I tell work should I discuss straight away how much time I intend to take off, and that I would like to come back part-time, or does that come later?
Sorry for the long first post, I'm just bursting with excitement
