I informed my boss once doc confirmed i was pregnant. I guess it really depends on your job scope.
My role is quite unique n I know my boss will have prob getting someone 2 takeover or learn while I m on ML. Hence, I tot I shld let her know early, so dat she can plan... Even wif 7 mths plus... we couldnt really have someone within d dept who was confident enough 2 take up d role... even temporarily..
In d end, we decided dat I will take d mandatory 2 mths, n take back my own role...

Hi all, I am at my very early stage of pregnancy and I just left my old job and pending for my new job to starts in oct because the new company hr called my previous company hr way before I planned to tender hence I am being force to leave earlier than expected. I’m not sure if I should tell my new boss about it as it’s a sales orientated job and I have signed the contract but I’m afraid they might terminate at the same time I will like to Be frank at least. This has been be troubling me for the past few days. Any advice ? Thank you

Well... you will still need to "pass" the probation period if u choose to keep quiet about it till u start work.
It's quite odd dat d new co will call a current employer given dat u have not agreed 2 anything. Did u agree 2 let them call?
If I were u... i wld choose 2 b upfront about it.

No eh! I didn’t even gave them any green light to call the funny thing is, they called when I haven even sign any letter or offer.

Maybe, apparently is not in house hr. They outsourced to overseas? I informed the recruiter and new boss. They said is the first time that this happened to them too.

If the contractual probation period is longer than the 3 months minimum qualifying period, will the employee enjoy maternity protection?
Yes.The maternity protection will apply to the employee as long as she has served her employer for at least 3 continuous months.The probationary status will not affect employee's right to maternity protection. The 3 months qualifying period is...
