Any Primary Teachers?
Hi Ladies
I'm currently 5 + 2 and was wondering how long you waited to tell your head teachers? I only got my BFP on Friday and we're on mid term break just now. I have my first midwife appointment in a few weeks and it's unfortunately during school time so I'll have to say by then.
Thanks

Congrats on the BFP! xxx
I am a primary teacher and I haven't told my head yet, infact not told anyone yet lol I am 7 weeks but have had to go for a scan early and they think i am less then 7 weeks from when i OV etc. SO i think i am going to speak to my head after i go back aftr the hols depending on my next scan next mon morning.
Congrats on BFP xx
Anyway, im so glad i told him as ive been having really bad sickness and i had horrible pains im my stomach so had to go have early scan etc. He's been so supportive and let me have whatever time i need. I suppose it depends how accommadating your head is?? Can you talk to him/her and feel comfortable?? Im lucky, mine is an amazing head, if he wasnt im not so sure what i would have done. Only prob i have is that now all staff know, as they worked it out due to time off etc!! Bit of a shame as we've only told close friends and family. We were keeping it a secret from rest of world, so feel a bit of a fraud as there are people i would have prefered to tell over the whole of my staff room. But never mind!!
What is the worry with telling head?? They have to be so careful these days with pregnant staff....i know you shouldnt say it, but you get so many more rights when your pregnant, Or your may end up like me and have to tell them if you need to be sick or need time off etc!!! Maybe just tell the person you work with the closest....TA or someone?? Just incase you need to run out to the loo or something!!
Hope this helps. Dont feel pressred to tell your head, im sure officially you can wait until 15 weeks before your due or something like that?!
Enjoy your pregnancies and thank you again
