[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot depends on your workplace. How much longer were you planning to wait before disclosing your pregnancy? In your current position, when you go on leave, how would your work be covered? What sort of arrangement would you envision in the new position?[/quote]

OP here. I wasn't planning on disclosing my pregnancy until after the 20 week scan/when I am showing (whichever comes first).

In my current position, we work on assigned projects. I planned on leaving my current project in a near-complete state, and then I would most likely not get assigned a new project until I got back from maternity leave.

In the new position, it deals a lot with the company board and their schedule/needs, so it would be harder to put things on "hold" while I am out. More than likely they will distribute some load to the other team members and/or hire someone else from within the company to temporarily fill in. That is what they have done in the past with team members on maternity leave.

I guess another possibly pertinent aspect of this situation is that the new position is open because the current employee is leaving the company due to the birth of her 3rd child. Her last day  is several weeks before her due date (she has obviously given her management plenty of notice).[/quote]
