BigLaw associates - how did you tell them u were pregnant?

Just wondering the when, and how (i.e., how you decided which partners to tell first), and what I should expect the conversation to be like (what did you say, and what did they say?).  TIA

Re: BigLaw associates - how did you tell them u were pregnant?

  • I'm not sure that we have any other lawyers on here besides me, and I don't work in a big firm (I'm a prof. at a law school, so i can't even give you small-firm advice).  Maybe try the 9 to 5 board?  Or the working moms board on the bump?

  • Ya, lawyer here.  Not BigLaw though, sorry.  More like MidLawthatthinksitsBigLaw firm :)

     Anyway, from what I've seen around here with my prego/new mom coworkers, you first tell your direct supervising partners, then HR, then whoever the heck you want.  People here got 3 months mat leave.  I don't know honestly whether any of it was paid.  Most of them were expected to be available by cell/email virtually the whole time.  Good luck!
