Early In Pregnancy- When to tell Clients I'm stepping back
TW pregnancy loss
I am 9 years on Rover this spring and have gone down to only repeat regulars. I am slightly over 8 weeks pregnant with the history of repeat early pregnancy loss between 6-11 weeks. I have bookings already until mid July. If all of my testing goes well in June, I'm debating telling my clients in August that I will not be available from September 1st through July 1st of next year.
2 years ago when I had a pregnancy that made it this far, I told some of my clients that I'd have to make arrangements for cat boxes etc and I couldn't do long walks. Then I lost my longest pregnancy and had to do the awkward explanation with them about what happened.
When I booked on my summer bookings this year, I did not anticipate the current situation and how many cat boxes I would have to attend to. My fiance is willing to come with me to help with cat boxes and I've also bought masks and kitchen gloves. I just don't want to pull the trigger on telling clients something deeply personal because of how many losses I've had. I also don't want to unannounced have my fiance in people's houses solely to do cat boxes.
Thoughts?
