[quote=Anonymous]I had two miscarriages last year (and another in 2011) and again am pregnant but bleeding. The doctors say it's a waiting game now, to see what will happen.  Two of my miscarriages took weeks to finalize, with a few days here and there of non- bleeding. My question is, what to tell the office/ boss? I can't just take sick leave for potentially weeks, while I sit around seeing if I'll miscarry. But I'd rather not tell my boss (who is new to me) the truth right now, that I'm 7 weeks pregnant but could likely miscarry at any time, given my past, I just don't know when. But what would be another excuse, especially if I go to work for a few days, then abruptly have to leave work one day because it's finally happening? And then I'm out for several days again? I'd rather not have to tell my boss the truth because try as he might, I don't think he would really understand, nor can he be discreet. Plus, if this is all over with in a couple weeks, I'd rather he's none the wiser, and my medical issues are left private. Has this happened to anyone else? Thank you in advance for any suggestions![/quote]
