I just found out I am pregnant and I was just offered my dream job. What should I do? Do I take the job? Do I tell them right away, or wait a while until I tell everyone? Or do I stay at my current job, which pays less and I hate? Help please!! Also can I take maternity leave in 8 months? The prediction is that ill be due in October.

    Congrats on the offer and the baby.  If I were in your shoes I'd take the job and tell them about the pregnancy when I tell everyone else.  I'm assuming you're planning on going back to work after the baby arrives.

    You are pregnant, not terminally ill!  Take the job, and tell them when you tell everyone else.  Then have the baby, go on leave, and have a great job to come back to!

    I completely agree--take the job--but make sure you talk to your employer about your expectations for time off when you tell them. I dont think you'd be covered under any short term disability policies so you may not be able to count on that financially.
