Interviewing in first trimester?

Question

I have been at the same job for 10 years. I have an opportunity to interview for a higher paying job with another company- currently i am 6 weeks pregnant with my first.
Has anyone interviewed while pregnant, and gotten the job? Did you tell the company during your interviews?
I have more doctors appts than usual since I went through IUI and am being monitored very closely. My current job I have a lot of flexibility with these appointments.

Answer

I interviewed when just finding out I was pregnant and I didn’t mention anything in the interview. We hadn’t told anyone at that point and you are not obligated to tell them. I did get the job and I did end up reaching out to HR right away to discuss maternity leave benefits. They have been very understanding and accepting and I’ll get 12 weeks off.

Answer

I interviewed for a job while 8months pregnant before and got the job as a manager for a new place that opened so never be discouraged good luck

Answer

I would NOT tell them during the interview if you really want this job. While legally they can’t discriminate because of pregnancy, they’ll find some other reason not to hire you. I’d wait til you get the job and you’re farther along

Answer

I was laid off the day after I found out I was pregnant.  I am so nervous about accepting a job and then needing maternity leave only a few months later.  I don't have a choice though...I'm the family's main source of income!

Answer

Yes I am so glad that I switched jobs early in my pregnancy so I could grow with the company and establish a trust with them before leaving for maternity leave. It was retail so I didn’t feel the need to tell them about my pregnancy. When I found out the gender, I bought everyone donuts and wrote in the box, “eat up everyone, I can’t be the only one with a growing belly!”
