the Uned Stat’ ronavis outbreak</a>, I fled to my -laws’ home Connecticut, worried that my maybe-agile immune system and growg fet wouldn’t be able to handle daily life my home cy. From my enclave their basement, I began tellg anyone and everyone I talked to that I was pregnant, hopg that would help them to unrstand how serly I was takg self-quarante and why I didn’t tend to go home anytime soon.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p>I disvered I was not the only one sharg their pregnancy news on the early si bee of fears over the vis. While I’ve (thankfully) been workg om home for years, many people I spoke to were foced on tellg their employers early to ensure they weren’t exposg themselv to others at their workplac, pecially if their employers had been slow to act on settg people up to telework. “I had a major event gog on at work that meant a lot of terfacg wh anizatnal learship and dog a lot of hands-on work, so I thought that disclosg my pregnancy early would be kd of a distractn. Origally I planned to wa until 20 weeks or so, maybe a ltle b longer,” says Amanda*, who liv the Washgton, D.C., area and is currently 15 weeks along wh her send child. “And then everythg started changg. In the urse of a week we went om, like, ‘Oh, [the vis] is not a big al’ to ncelg the event. Wh that md, I laid all out for my boss. I laid all out for HR. I said, ‘This is not the timg that I had md, but I am ncerned about this,’” she says. Amanda’s supervisors moved her to a telework schle, though the rt of her office was not yet on one. A few days later, she found out someone her office had a nfirmed exposure. “One of my supervisors sent me an email sayg ‘I’m really glad you told this last week and that you weren’t here this week.’ It end up beg good foright,” she says.</p><p>Concerns about her workplace were also the reason JennieV, who is 14 weeks pregnant Maggie Valley, North Carola, told her managers at Wtern Carola Universy a b earlier than she had tend. “I got approval to transn to remote work bee of my pregnancy before the UNC system [where I work] mandated telework,” she says. “We only went public a ltle early—still, I wasn’t out of my first trimter yet. I’m so glad we did, though—I had no way to anticipate the system-wi rponse was g and felt like I need to do somethg,” she explas. “They were more supportive than I anticipated.”</p><p>Lra, Atlantic Canada, seized an unexpected moment when she was 10 weeks pregnant to tell her supervisor, even though she’d planned to wa until she was out of her first trimter as well. “We had an ‘all hands on ck’ briefg [about the vis] for the entire buildg, and they actually lled out [special acmodatns for] ‘immunopromised or pregnant people’ even though Canada [hasn’t] classified pregnant ladi as a vulnerable populatn. So after that I asked for a private meetg wh my direct boss,” she says. “I sp out, ‘So, this isn’t when I wanted to tell you, but given the current suatn…I’m 10 weeks pregnant. We are very exced but also a b anx. And I know my job is more difficult to work om home, but I’d like to foc on some of that paperwork that always gets phed to the back burner.’ His rponse was, ‘Well, first off—ngratulatns! But ankly, you should not be here right now.’ I am now fely work-om-home. It was a huge and immediate acmodatn. My job is very much an on-se job, but they’ve allowed me to foc on a smaller portn of my role for the foreeable future. I’m very lucky that turned out this smoothly.”</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div

before the remend 12 weeks about her high-risk pregnancy, even though she believ disclosg early is important for her safety. “Especially sce ’s a high-risk pregnancy, ’s still the first trimter and now there’s a panmic to nsir, I’ve been tryg to reerate to those we’ve told that ’s still early and we’re a state of ut optimism,” she says. She told close iends and fay between five and seven weeks and her supervisor at work jt shy of eight weeks, though she is still tryg to keep the news limed her extend fay. “The people we’ve told are all people who we would be open wh a worst-se scenar. I’m relieved that now I n talk to my close fay and iends, pecially women who’ve gone through pregnancy. It’s been helpful to talk about all of the ual pregnancy ncerns along wh the add layer of COVID-19. And I’m relieved that now my supervisor will have a better unrstandg of why I might be hant to work the office over the next few weeks or might seem to be even more ut wh social distancg than others,” she says.</p><p>Not everyone has the optn to work om home, of urse. Jsi is almost 11 weeks pregnant and works at a hospal upstate New York where she is nsired sential. She had hoped to tell her supervisors well after her 12-week appotment, but she told them at 9.5 weeks stead. “I told my boss about a week ago, not knowg what was gog to happen wh this vis,” she said. “Today she remend I start workg only two days a week for preventative reasons.” As she is sential personnel, some time at the hospal was gog to be unavoidable, but overall Jsi is very pleased wh the oute. “I am happy to ntue workg two days a week as at least lims my exposure to potential problems. I also told my lleagu that I’m pregnant, bee I felt they serve to know [why] I’ll only be workg two days a week,” she explas. She also told her team bee she knows how high anxiety is the hospal right now. “There are some days I don’t feel well. I don’t want anybody to thk I’m displayg any of the vis symptoms,” she says. “I’m jt pregnant. I’m still very nervo about exposure, but I’m glad I told everyone.”</p><p>While ultimately cidg when to disclose a pregnancy is a very personal cisn, I n attt to the huge sense of relief I felt lettg people know slightly earlier than I might have unr non-panmic circumstanc. Wh my first, I felt enormo prsure to “act normal” while I was sufferg through extreme morng sickns, even elaborately pretendg to drk and forcg myself to attend social events I jt didn’t feel up to. While the social events have of urse dried up (#socialdistancg), ’s hontly really nice that my fellow Zoom-happy-hour-goers <em>know</em> to expect seltzer my glass, and that my -laws unrstand that I won’t be gog on a fay grocery n any time soon.</p><p>Another unexpected upsi: The early reveal has been a bright spot for those I’m tellg. The reactns I’ve gotten are so enthiastic—much more than I was expectg for a send-child announcement!—bee my iends and fay are so happy to hear somethg <em>good.</em> It’s rtored some of the joy to the pregnancy procs, which has fely been ls full of good feelgs than was wh my first. For that alone, I’m glad I ma this choice.</p><p>*Some nam have been changed, and all last nam have been whheld for varyg privacy reasons.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-2 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p><strong>Related:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=">Pregnant and Worried About Coronavis?
