When To Tell Clients I'm Pregnant
I hope this is allowed! I'm about 16 weeks pregnant with a high risk pregnancy and working in a public mental health clinic. The way our clinic works is that if someone comes in, they get assigned any therapist with an open slot. I'm due in October, but I have open slots. I already informed my work I can't take on additional high risk clients, as, like I said, this is a high risk pregnancy and the closer I get do my due date, the more appointment's I'll have. The one thing I'm worried about is telling my clients, especially my teens and BPD clients, a lot of whom have attachment disorders. I also don't plan on coming back after maternity leave (this clinic has been soul-crushing for years). I just don't know when to broach it with them. I am plus sized, but I'm sort of showing a little bit, it may not be obvious. I'll wait until after my anatomy scan, but when?
