Keeping a pregnancy on the DL for as long as possible...

[Other Mummy]

First off...Congratulation s!

Secondly...It's your pregnancy, your decision when to tell parents. How many times to daycare families get pregnant and have to pull their child out but tell us as late as possible so that we don't fill the spot until they are "ready" to take their maternity leave.

Do what is best for your family and your business. Heck, I would put it off telling them even longer. If anyone actually has the gall to ask you if you are expecting (which we all know we are NOT supposed to ask a woman unless you actually see the baby crowning).

I would have a course of action in place as to when I would tell the dc families. If you have a contract what does it state for notice 2, 3, more weeks? That is all you are obliged to them. fair is fair. Don't think for a second that they would not do what is right for their family given the circumstance. Do what is right for yours and your business.
