[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I came here for guidance not only because I am in my first trimester, and afraid of the repercussions of disclosing my pregnancy too soon, I am the only woman partner to be pregnant in this BIGLAW firm in many many years (if ever, that is).  I am entirely surrounded by men, and the partnership agreement does not specify how a woman in my situation will be treated.  I am the chief financial support for my family, and am worried about how to continue providing for them given the uncertainty about how I will be "handled" by the firm.

Thanks to the kind few among the 4 pages of posts to my question.  The rest of you, I agree with a PP, make me despair about how women treat each other.  After reading the expletives, mean and flippant comments, I'm not a little bit surprised any longer that women get paid less, fewer opportunities for advancement, can't freely choose how we protect our reproductive health, or at other inequities in the way we are treated. Why should men respect us and treat us equally--you all have given prime examples of how easily we divide and attack each other.  You should be ashamed at yourselves.
