Job Hunting While Pregnant

Ok! Advice, opinion, stories, whatever. 
I am having a second interview (again on Zoom) next week for a new job. Because it’s Zoom, I can hide that I’m pregnant. When would you tell a prospective employer that you’re pregnant? Or do you have any stories from changing jobs while pregnant?

Re: Job Hunting While Pregnant

  • With my first I was pregnant when I took on a new job and I did tell them because if they wanted me they would hire me regardless and I felt if I didn’t they would resent me once I told them after I was hired. Luckily they still hired me but I hated the job so much I didn’t go back after I had him. 
  • I’m interviewing next week and plan to tell them. Somewhere on the internet it suggested being upfront shows you don’t avoid difficult conversations. But I’m also in a low pressure position where I wasn’t seeing this job, and if it doesn’t work out I’ll still have a job I enjoy with slightly less income.
