Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, we were gathered to be told some bad news. One of our colleagues would be taking indefinite leave because his wife had dropped their newborn baby. I accidentally laughed at the image. FML
Today, I announced my pregnancy to my boss. I was expecting all sorts of reactions, except, "But... Erm... How did that happen?" FML

Today, I filled in for my absent pregnant co-worker like I have done since she went on disability a month ago, at the job I’ve been doing for 15 months. Today the replacement they hired also came to work, and I had to train her since she has more experience and got the maternity leave position over me. FML
Today, I got fired for not being mature enough. I just found out I’m pregnant. FML
Today, I got back from a holiday to find that my coworkers had prepared a “Welcome Back!” surprise. I pretended to be excited, only for them to awkwardly whisper that it was intended for another coworker, who was on her way back from maternity leave the same morning. FML
Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. I'm 53 and I have four grown children and grandchildren. FML

You do realize that bereavement maternity leave means the coworker lost the baby, right?

Congrats to you but the situations sucks. Maybe tell your coworker first before the rest of the office finds out, to cushion the blow?

You need to get a new job or preemptively murder your coworker. In all the movies, she steals your baby.

You don't have to tell everyone right away. Can always wait a few months first until it's not so fresh on her mind.

Maybe I am missing something, but how is this an FML for you? I mean your coworker is the one who should be writing an FML for this situation. If you are good friends then she will be supportive and perhaps you guys can bond together. However, congratulations and enjoy. I am sure your coworker will be happy for you.

she will be happy but her baby died so no she wont be overjoyed this will be extremely hurtful for her to hear. I'm glad the o.p recognises that.

speaking as someone whos baby died. please tell her first before anyone else. acknowledge how you know this will hurt her and you are sorry. she will be happy for you but the grief is too deep for her to feel that just yet.. give her a bit of time to process it before you tell everyone else so she can prepare herself to deal with everyones happy reactions. she will probably hate you at first. she will hate herself for hating you but you just cant help it when your in it. oh and also.. (maybe ask if its okay) but talk about her baby too and use her babys name, all her brain is doing right now is screaming at her that her baby died and literally no one talks about them and its awful.
