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