Secure your job situation. No you don't have to tell your boss unless you want to. That's personal information that your not required to discuss.

I know the rules here are that if you get hired knowing you are pregnant and don't inform your boss they can fire you for that reason alone without it being discrimination, but if you apply for a job and they know you are pregnant they cannot deny you the job for that reason it's against the law (but it's very hard to prove that's why they didn't hire you) so if you aren't telling your boss, make sure when you do tell him you make is seem as if you just found out, and make sure that you aren't telling anyone else, as you don't want it getting to your boss before you tell them.

When i went and got my job i knew i was pregnant as well but i never told them until i was hired on for sure. Then once i was there for a month i told them. They never had a problem with it and I'm still there a year and a half later. As far as i know employers never really want to hire pregnant women because later down the road they know they have to give them leave and that they may not even come back. So its not a bad thing that you have not told them yet.

In the UK you don't have to inform your employer you are pregnant until 25 weeks. But i don't know the rules anywhere else. Your boss may feel he has been deceived if you don't tell him but its your choice, and being pregnant shouldn't affect whether he employed you or not (equal opportunities and all that). You may not be entitled to some maternity benefits starting a new job whilst pregnant. At my work you have to be working for them for 11 months to be entitled to their package(which was quite a good 1), but not sure if affects statutory rights.

It is not wrong. I would get comfortable in the job first then bring it up at some point. You will need to know your benefits, like FMLA. You never know when a situation will arrise and you need time off. Good luck in the new job and with mommyhood.

NO IT WOULD NOT BE WRONG TO YOUR BOSS THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT. I THINK YOU SHOULD SO HE WILL BE PREPARED WHEN YOU GO OUT AND HAVE THE BABY. I KNOW WHEN I STARTED A NEW JOB I HAD JUST FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT I TOLD MY BOSS AND HE DID NOT GET MAD HE STILL LET ME WORK AS LONG AS I COULD. I WORK RIGHT UP TIL 2 WEEKS BEFORE I HAD MY SON.
HOPE THIS HELPS

You need to tell since you are almost half way now...... Kind of rude to let them pay out to train you when you know you wont be there long In my option.
I told mine the day i found out.
