[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am beginning a new job at 18 weeks and I have my 20 week scan two weeks later. My Obgyn office doesn’t have evening appointments. I took the first 7:45 am appointment but work begins at 8 am and I will be in a training period for 6 weeks. I was told asked several times before being hiring if I had any vacations planned or needed to take time off because basically during training that’s not allowed. I will be working for a health insurance company and the job doesn’t pay well but it’s 100 percent remote.

Here are the options:

Present a generic doctors note my ob gives me

Disclose I am pregnant

Push back the 20 week scan to 21 weeks so I will work 3 weeks before taking a few hours off

The office is only 5 mins away and most appointments should be fast. I am considered high risk though due to prior pregnancies.

I was offered this job in early June so almost 3 months before it begins.

I do feel my manager will say no or ignore emails about a generic doctors appointment so I think disclosing pregnancy might be the best route. I’m nervous though because I will still be in the probation period. They could let me go and say it’s because of performance. If the manager asks how far along am I should I say?
