I'm about to receive an offer from a company but I also found out that Im pregnant. What do I do? It would be October by the time I receive the offer and then after one calendar month of notice period is December already. By then my belly would be visible. I'm due mid may, so I'd have to go on ML in mid april. so I would be working for 5.5 months before ML. In an ideal world this shouldnt make a difference to the employer. Legally also I'm not obligated to tell but should I? Would you?

Say nothing. You’re under no obligation and as much as I hate to say it’s true, knowing ahead could change the offer from them. Most people feel it’s best to wait til the 12 week mark to tell anyone beyond their partner anyway.

Thank you, and this is true indeed.

The way I look at it is this: there’s nothing really for me to gain by saying something, and definitely things to lose. I would be waiting just to be safe. Congratulations, by the way!
