Advice Request

Help?

Earlier this year the corporation I work for was issuing layoffs, I found out I would be one of the positions being laid off. I applied for another position, within the organization and I was hired. The job place is pretty big. So it feels like I’m staring a new job completely, apart from my old job. My insurance and everything of the sort was not affected as there was no gap in employment. When I was hired I was around 16 weeks pregnant. I wasn’t when I applied and for most of the process but I am now 20 weeks pregnant.

I have not disclosed sooner as I had a miscarriage in January and did not even tell immediate family until after all of my tests came back and because I needed to for other reasons. I am still grieving and anxious so if it was up to me I would have waited longer. I was waiting for my 20 week anatomy to disclose. Thankfully, good news for our anatomy scan as well.

I feel so guilty about telling my new supervisor, as there have been cuts in this office too. It is a big department but our unit is only myself and my supervisor. I feel terrible and not sure if I need advice. Maybe just hearing different POV. Thank you!
