I'm now 7 weeks pregnant and have been in my IVA since June. When do I need to tell them about the pregnancy? Can I leave it until my review in June (baby due in August)?

I would keep them informed from now as you might need a payment break to get baby things etc, and if they are aware of it, it is better, In my experience IP's don't like surprises LOL

Congratulations and do not worry too much about the IVA. However, I would suggest you speak with the IP as there will be changes in circumstances which can be addressed as and when they arise.

Most people generally wait until after the first trimester, but if you want to tell them now there is no harm, however you will not be able to make any real plans until nearer the date of the birth, when you will know what your plans are likely to be with regard to working hours and the cost of childcare.
