Questions & Answers

I had a job interview around the same time, and just wore a bigger sweater so no one could tell. I think its better to wait until after you're hired, because like the other ladies said, sometimes they won't hire you. and if theres no specific job duties you can't do, it's not really lying because they won't come out and ask you.

I agree w/the other ladies. I wouldn't tell them unless asked, or there are job requirements you are unable to perform because you are pregnant. I know that you want to be honest and upfront with them to strat out on the right foot, but it's a tough market out there to begin with. Good luck!

I personally wouldnt say anything unless asked. I made the mistake of doing so with my first pregnancy around 14 weeks. I was close to getting hired when it slipped out that I was pregnant, suddenly the entire energy changed and I wasnt hired. they didnt say why but I know that it was because I was pregnant. Alot of places dont want to hire a pregnant lady especially if they offer benefits because that usually equals maternity leave. Also they dont want to spend the money training someone only to have them leave in a few months. Its pretty complicated and I spent the entirety of my last pregnancy jobless. But good luck on the interview and I hope it goes well

i agree yes its entirely up to you. i found my self in the same place a few weeks ago. im a retail assistant manager and i was not going to say anything until hire or she asked if there anything i cant do. she asked me during the interview if could lift up to 30-40lbs, i then responded with im currently pregnant so for now nothing over 15lbs but in the future i can. just remember they can not refuse you the job due to being pregnant but i do know how people hire people. i hope this helps you! good luck with your family and new job!!!

its entirely up to you whether you tell them or not. Even if you do tell them you are pregnant they are not allowed to refuse you the job for this reason. Personally I would be inclined not to tell them unless asked, most interviews I have been to have asked "do i have children, or am I looking to start a family". Good luck :)
