Why do you hide your pregnant belly in the company? Maybe:
-The ratio of men to women in the company is very wide, so it is not easy to climb to this position;
-Maternity leave is only temporary, so I want to come back early and continue to struggle for promotion;
-You don't want to be "gradually" replaced by others because you are pregnant on a big project;
-I don't want to make mistakes before the end of the year;
I don't want to be treated "specially". Although my intention is good, it is embarrassing to be "taken care of" often.
-I don't want to be isolated by social groups, such as going out to drink and others don't call you;
-I have had an abortion before, but I don't want to have another abortion, and I know my mother is very unhappy;
-Want a clean pregnancy.

There are only a few people in the core department of our company, and many people want to come in, and there is a big gap between men and women (> 10: 1). Although it is better for the company to care about maintaining the already low proportion of girls, if I know that I am pregnant, I will not be laid off or marginalized (and Canadian law protects new mothers very much). If it knew I was pregnant and laid off employees, our company would definitely be sued for bankruptcy.
However, I feel that people will still treat pregnant mothers differently.
I told the company about seven months ago and everyone was happy for me. But then my boss would ask me every day, "How do you feel today?" In addition, the topics are all about prenatal care and raising babies. I'm definitely not ready to wait.
Every time I go to the toilet, I will be stopped by two aunts at the front desk and ask me how my day was. At least I'll talk for five more minutes. This is usually just a "hello and goodbye" relationship.
When I went out to meet investors, many seniors also told me about parenting experience, which was really enough.
Have a grateful heart, I know, I am really grateful. However, I don't want everyone to care about me in this way! I just want to go to work normally, blow water normally and continue to be my small financial migrant worker. ) ... instead of caring about pregnancy and baby every day like a giant panda, I am a professional working woman (all kinds of unhappy ...).
So, sometimes, since the environment is like this, we really have to hide our stomachs and try to wait until we have to say it.
