But, before you welcome your little bundle of joy, let's look at some important aspects to get in place first:
Report to HR
It is important that HR be notified of your pregnancy immediately in order to get things started as soon as possible as there might be several things to sort out before you go on maternity leave.
Temporary Replacement
Someone will need to temporarily replace you while you are away. Have a talk with your supervisor to come up with a plan. All options should be discussed with HR to ensure a workable plan.
Doctor Visits
It remains important to regularly have your checkups to ensure that you and your baby are healthy and doing well.
