I have already told my new boss that I am pregnant, and he handled it well. I am 5 months pregnant and I really would like to start wearing my new maternity clothes to work, but I want to inform my new co-workers of my situation, so they don't feel awkward asking me if I am indeed pregnant. I also don't want to just leave them to figure it out. I really am showing, but I am just wearing bigger clothes, they must just think I am heavy-set. How do I tell them after waiting this long to say anything?

Wear your maternity clothes (especially things that tie behind the back) and start making comments about your pregnancy. People will then say, "oh, I didn't know you were pregnant" and you can laugh and tell them all about it. Also tell your boss that it's not a secret anymore, so that if someone asks him/her they'll confirm it.
Don't feel like you have to explain why you didn't tell them sooner. People wait for all sorts of reasons.
Oh and telling a nosy coworker is a good one that someone else mentioned. That's what I did with my first pregnancy, and it worked like a charm! I didn't have to tell anyone else.

Unless you are normaly heavy, your co-workers probably figuered it out, because you would have normal arms and legs, not much excesive fat, but be huge round the tummy. I can tell a woman is pregnant just by looking at her. Just start wearing the clothes. If they really want to know they will ask. They probably won't.

I'd just start wearing the maternity clothes and if anyone says anything just tell them you're pregnant.
Or you can find the nosiest woman in your office, tell her and then everyone will know anyway! :o)

Just tell them you didnt know. LOL. Thats kinda what I did. I told them I found out really late. It was half true. Or just tell them you were at risk and didnt want to tell everyone yet.
Good Luck!

why didn't you just tell them to begin with? what's the big deal? if i became pregnant i would walk into the office and tell everybody. "Hey guys, I'm Pregnant"
I don't understand why this is even a question.

start wearing your materinty clothes, they are not that stupid. They may be polite and not mention it. why do you care so much about what your coworkers think?
