I relocated when I was 20 weeks pregnant and had to change jobs as part of the process. Having received lots of knockbacks (clearly because of the pregnancy) I decided to stop telling people. As a result, I ended up having a telephone interview and succeeded in getting a really good admin job :) I was very worried starting the job though as my tummy was quite hard to hide. However, after a few weeks, I casually mentioned it to a few people and everyone was fine. Good luck with the job hunting - I would definitely say that it is better not to tell potential employers.......they should just be looking at your skills anyway, not your personal situation :)

It's illegal for someone to fire you for not telling or for telling them you are pregnant be.It may change their decision in hiring you though .Wait until you are at least 12-15 weeks before telling themst people wait that long anyways .as long as the job doesn't require you to do anything super strenuous or dangerous you will be fine yo keep it a secrecy until your in the safe zone .

I think yes you should tell them, I got paid off a couple weeks before I found out I was pregnant, I went to an interview When I was 8 weeks pregnant I got the job then I told them I was pregnant they let me go because I hadn't told them I was pregnant there wasn't a thing I could do about it, I was pregnant iv now been knocked back from a few jobs

I was in the same boat and you may get mixed reviews. I was told not to say anything until I was 14 weeks. The risks were lower, you'd be in your second trimester, possibly showing and it would be harder to not say something.Good luck in your search.
