When nothing is confirmed enough but you suspect anden-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/164827?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 May 2016 09:49:30 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:60b4d500-dcdf-422a-b686-6c3ac7343be2Alison Clare Hickman<p>Firstly, congratulations for the possibility! Yay, another little life form! Well done you. Secondly, totes agree with the suggestion above. Did this for a colleague very recently and it went really well, boss never suspected a thing until told for sure. IMHO it&#39;s the only way to provide H&amp;S protection for a &#39;suggestion&#39; of pregnancy if you don&#39;t want to fess up immediately you think that it&#39;s a possibility. On the other hand, I&#39;ve got a suspicion you might be flouting the law a tad as even if you are trying for a baby you should alert your boss and appropriate H&amp;S considerations be undertaken - - -&nbsp; so, maybe tell your boss you are trying? Then YOU have complied with the relevant HSE laws. . .</p> <p><img src="/emoticons/new/Happy_smiley.png" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/164819?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 04 May 2016 14:33:13 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:69bdfc97-9a66-4615-82a7-cca415496669Teresa Newsome<p>id select a confidant, that could help keep you safe and help you get out of sticky situations. its worth telling someone so you have someone to watch out for you :)</p> <p></p> <p>Congratulations!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
