Telling the headteacher today!

[Bee]

In about 15 minutes I am telling the headteacher of the school I am at that I am pregnant!

I have told some other people and got a good reaction but I am still scared.

I've had a lot to sort out as I am a probationer teacher and have to do my year but that all got sorted yesterday so I know what is going to happen regarding it all and I don't have to worry as much.

Good luck!!

It'll be fine. Let us know how you get on.

 

[Bee]

All done!

He didn't say much but at least he knows now

 

[Manda&Thomas]

aww glad you managed to tell him hun
men genrelly dont say much when you tell them
manda xx

 

[Emma58]

Thats good then.

I never had to tell my headteacher just my line manager, I've only seen the head for Risk assessments.

Aww glad it went well xx

When I first read this thread I thought you were a pupil at the school silly me....

 

[Bee]

No not a pupil

No men don't normally say anything - he did say congratulations which I'm not used to hearing.

 

[debecca]

Well done for telling him - do you have a small bump? How have you managed to keep it secret so long?!

Sounds like he reacted better than mine did - the first thing he said was "Sorry about the crap maternity pay" rather than "congratulations" - hmm men.

 

[Bee]

I don't get maternity pay so he didn't really say anything about that.

I don't have a bump at all tbh - but something is coming

I have lost so much weight from being sick

 

[tots hope]

Glad the meeting went ok, shame about maternity pay thoughx

 

[Bee]

Oh its ok - I knew I wouldn't get any from them as I only started in Aug. I'll get SMP though

I'll just have to save

More people know now - bet I wake up with a bump tomorrow

 

[Craig]

i thought you had done that already... shows how much i know

 

[Kylie1007]

Bee - have you been working up until now? Just wondering cos I'm a teacher too and was doing supply during my pregnancy so I wasn't eligible for any SMP but could claim Maternity Allowance from the job centre.

 

[sarah113]

Glad it went well

 

[debecca]

Bee - I've been at my school nearly 2 years and I still only get SMP. It sucks!

 

[Bloom]

Glad it went well Bee.

I only get SMP too so we can all feel hard done by together

 

[Bee]

I have alrwady done some reaearch and I will get SMP - I was working wh9ile I was a student but my mum had a look about SMP for me.

It will be hard but I'll be fine
