Have you ever found yourself pregnant just before or just after starting a new job?

How did you handle things with your new boss? How did they take the news?

I start a new job in 2 weeks and there is a strong possibility that I may be pregnant but I'm too chicken to take the test.

Update:

UPDATE: I am definitely not pregnant.

    well i found myself pregnant before i was suppose to take this job but once i found out i made the decision to stay at my old job so that i would get the full benefit of the maturnity leave. but since you already have the job and have been hired they cant fire you for being pregnant so you can let your boss know when you start showing enough where your wobbling and stuff and need to put in your leave. but first, TAKE A TEST TO MAKE SURE

    I got sacked because I was pregnant 3 months and had only been there 2 weeks and i regret not taking action against them but really id rather not work for them in the long run if they cant support a pregnant worker then they wouldnt support days off for doctors visits ect... I went back to my old job and now I happily owrk from home.

  • I got pregnant about a week before I started my job. After I knew for sure that I was, I started dropping little hints that I was or thought I was. After my first prenatal appointment, I told them. They took it fine. There's not a whole lot that your job can do, so just go ahead and tell them WHEN you know for sure.
