Should I Feel Bad?

Question

I am 6 weeks pregnant, my job posted a position I really want so I applied. I had all my interviews and they went well. If I get the job offer should I tell them I'm pregnant or it's none of there business it's still too early? I just don't want to be a snake but I want the opportunity for my family.

Accepted Answer

No you don’t have to tell them and I wouldn’t until way later.

Answer

You don’t have to disclose it but either way, I feel 6 weeks is still pretty early to announce to anyone who isn’t family. 
Go for it girl! 💪🏻

Answer

I’d wait until after you have started the job. While it’s illegal to not hire someone because they are pregnant, it’s really easy for companies to come up with reasons to not hire you if they know.
There’s always debate on here about when to tell your job. I work in HR and process a lot of pregnancy leave requests. From my experience most people wait until 12-20 weeks to request leave. 
I’m on my fourth pregnancy after three losses. I just transferred jobs in December about a week before I found out I was pregnant again. I won’t say anything until after 20 weeks.

Answer

I wouldnt feel bad about it. You’ve gotta look out for yourself!

Answer

Too early wait a while

Answer

Dont tell them

Answer

You can wait to tell them when you’re more comfortable and farther along. Pregnancy doesn’t stop you from Bossing up! Good luck & congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

Answer

No. Plus you could always say that you didn’t know. If you’re the right person for the job then they will work with you.

Answer

I say tell. Depending what your job is. If you cant perform that job 100% while pregnant then it should go to someone who can. My sil had to wait till afyer she had her baby to get her promotion. She did lifting or wpuld have for the new job ,so obviously she wouldnt have been able to give 100%. Like i said it depends what the job is. If its something that has no effect on pregnancy an is like computer stuff then i dont see why itd matter if youre pregnant. Though if its something that you cant do while pregnant like lifting heavy weights or something like that i believe they absolutely should know.

Answer

I personally would not tell them. I didn’t tell my boss until I was well into the second trimester, because anything can happen unfortunately. It’s not any of their business until you and only you are ready to tell them!
