... So did you wear one shirt that was too small and rode up your bump and a larger one inside that to cover rest?
Is there any reasonable basis for adopting this line of questioning?
thank you Padraigb....Im feeling a little harrassed here....
+1I am outraged that anybody should speak in such a way to a pregnant woman: it's highly offensive, and even suggests that there is something unsavoury about pregnancy.
The fact that the boss seemed to come up with a weak excuse afterwards suggests to me that she realised that she was wrong, and is trying to slide away from accepting responsibility for what she said. I think, Irish Spirit, that you may have made your point, and that your chances of getting an apology are probably small.
I was disappointed by the tone of a couple of the responses here. I don't think covering a bump should be regarded as a matter of dress code. If T-shirts are normally accepted as appropriate work attire, then they should be accepted as appropriate for pregnant staff (assuming they fit!).
Don't mind him; he's an 'auld fella![As my username suggests, I am male, but I am a new man.]
I can't see how anyone would try and tell an employee to hide the fact they are pregnant
DavyJones - based on your quote above maybe you can understand now why this has upset me....I couldnt believe it either!!

I am pregnant and work part time in retail. Yesterday I was serving customers and my boss came in and told me my bump was looking very big and did I not have a cardigan to cover it.
would it not be worse if you weren't pregnant ?
