    You don't have to tell your boss until you give notice of maternity leave. However the professional thing to do is to tell them as soon as you feel comfortable announcing the news. Of course, if your job requires any special allowances or change of duties due to your pregnancy for your own sake and that of the baby it is better that you do this sooner rather than later. I also found telling my boss took a huge weight off my mind as I suffered quite badly with morning sickness and they were good enough to make allowances for me being late occasionally which was a huge help.

    Congratulations on the happy news by the way.
