Just got a Great new Job Offer - Should I tell them I'm Preggers?

Question

So I'm a Nurse who has been commuting more then 140 miles a day , working sometimes 12 hr shifts very stressful work environment , and I have been offered this amazing new job opportunity which is local , great benefits and just all around perfect as to what I want to advance in my career.... thing is I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for about 4 years now and as soon as I kind of "gave up" ... it happened!!!!  I'm soooo excited as it was something unexpected! But so was this job offer ...... I'm worried now , should I say something ? Should I wait? Please help!

Answer

Accept the job offer and wait at least until you are 12 weeks to tell them. You are not obligated to tell them you are pregnant now and this could hurt your chances to be hired even if they already offered you the job 😬

Answer

Your only 6 weeks I would wait.

Answer

I would wait, until after the first trimester or at least until after 9 weeks because you don't HAVE TO tell them either way, it's what I did when I had something similar happen but in a different work area
I was working as a server at a restaurant about 45 minutes from home then a job offer 10 minutes away came up I was going to work as a administrative assistant and i took the new job and then a month later I found out I was pregnant they didn't seem to mind they were actually much nicer and told me I could take longer brakes if I needed and were understanding with my dr appointments. Then at 4 months pregnant I got promoted to financial manager regaurdless if I was pregnant 😊😊😃😃😃😃😃🌞🌞🌞

Answer

Don't tell them. It allows opportunity to discriminate. You don't legally need to tell them anything until a month before taking leave I think. Laws are different everywhere though. I especially wouldn't say anything before 12 weeks, just until you know it's definitely going to all be okay.

Answer

You are under no obligation to tell them and I wouldn't. Accept the job and then let them know when you are out of first trimester at 14+ weeks.

Answer

WAIT! Until you are around 12 weeks for sure. My sister in law was fired after she told her boss she was pregnant when she was around 7 weeks. Not that she was fired because she was pregnant, but before probationary period is up you can be let go for no reason at all. In her job it was going to be very stressful for the boss to train her for the job to only have to train someone else in less than 8 months
