Hi A., I was ten weeks pregnant when I had my interwiew and I didn't mentioned. My manager found out when I was twenty weeks by someone else. This person who knew did't want to ask me and she told the manager. My manager only ask if was pregnat and if I had some who will babysit after my daugher will be born? I'm still working a part-time and my daughter is almost three years old. you should't say nothing during the interview or training. Good luck in the interview!.

Despite the fact that laws state that they can not discriminate for pregnancy I would NOT tell this person until you are actually hired. Then if they do try to fire you for it they are in violation of the law - if they just don't hire you they could blame it on any number of reasons. Many employers do not want to hire someone who is pregnant, as crappy as that is. Best of luck to you!!

Hi A.,
Good luck with your interview! I have always believed in telling the truth! That doesn't mean you have to tell them that you are pregnant, but don't lie about it either. If this is the right job for you and you are the perfect match for your employer, it shouldn't matter to them. What are your intentions after you have the baby? Do you plan on staying home for an extended time? or do you plan on going right back to work? Be honest with yourself, if this is meant to be it's going to work out! Best of luck to you!

It would all depend on whether or not you intend to return to work after the baby is born. You have no obligation to tell them, but obviously, you'll be showing soon, so they will find out sooner than later. I think you should go with your gut and if you think you'd be uncomfortable hiding it for a while, tell them. It could jeopordize the job, but you don't want to be working somewhere or for someone that may harbor negative feelings towards you or your situation. They may feel betrayed. It's a tough call. Good luck with it.
