Job interviews and pregnancy?! Thoughts?

Question

I have been a stay at home wife for about 6 months and decided to go back to work. I have interviews coming up and I was wondering if I should mention my pregnancy? I doubt it would be brought up, but when applying I made it known I will have monthly doctor appts so I will need off/or come in late so if they were to ask about that do I tell them why? I just don't want pregnancy being a reason I'm not hired. I'm a little over 11 weeks and basically just look chubby so I doubt they'll notice by physical appearance. Then if I don't say anything, when do I tell them if I do get the job? Thoughts?

Answer

I agree that as long as you're in the first trimester, you can leave it out. But if it gets later on, I'd say something. Not because you'd be visibly pregnant but while you can't be discriminated against, no employer has to appreciate being misled. That doesn't bode well for the relationship

Answer

If you're out of the first trimester at your interview then yes, you should probably tell them especially if they ask about the doctors appointments. If you're still in the first trimester though, I wouldn't say anything. You don't want to be passed over for the job because you're pregnant just for the pregnancy to not work out :/

Answer

I wouldn't mention it at first but with all my pregnancies I've done my best to make appointments on my days off. I even had an OB opened for a few hours on Saturday's so I made most of my appointments that day and missed as little work as possible
