I’m 30 weeks pregnan and just made it to the final round for a leadership position at a competitive company. It’s my dream job, but the timing feels less than ideal. The role itself is not in-person, but the final round interview is.

I haven’t disclosed my pregnancy yet, and I’m struggling with whether I should. Legally, I know I don’t have to, and I don’t want it to influence their decision. But I also don’t want to start off on the wrong foot by shocking them in the in person interview panel

I would absolutely wait until the in person and continue the interview as is. You’ve made it this far without the bias of pregnancy, show them what you’re made of! If they decide based on the in-person that it’s not ideal, at least they got the chance to meet you face-to-face, and you never know what doors that can open in the future.

Whatever you decide, congrats on making it to the final round!!! Rooting for you!

I would not disclose. They can make assumptions based on your appearance but it’s you’re right not to say anything. If they ask, you can tell them but legally I don’t think they can. Whether you are right for the job should be the only thing they consider not whether or not you’re pregnant. Honestly it’s more impressive to me that you’re at this point while pregnant. I’d hire you. Lol

Has anyone been in a similar position? Did you disclose or wait until after the offer? Any advice on navigating this?

I don’t think you can wait until the offer since they will see you are pregnant. I would disclose since you really have no option.

You’re going to have to address it at some point and I imagine you’re going to want to know how things would work when you go on leave.
If it makes you more comfortable to disclose it, then tell them now and ask questions. If your interview gets canceled you have your answer.
