| If you started a fed job while pregnant or shortly before becoming pregnant (had been in the new job less than a year before giving birth), how did that go for you? Would you start a new job when you did or would you have delayed your job search? I'm contemplating trying to get a new job while trying to conceive. I currently don't work for the feds, but would be applying for fed jobs. Thanks. |

| OP here. It seems to vary a lot--one of my friends started a new fed job 2 months after he applied (from outside the feds). |

| I did, I started a Fed job about 8 weeks before I delivered my DD. I immediately signed up for the medical leave bank and used 8 weeks full pay. I came back and have been there for almost 5 years now. Worked out good for me. |

| I accepted a new position the same week I found out I was pregnant. I did tell them about it before starting. I miscarried a few weeks later. It was helpful that they knew I was pregnant when I needed time off for the miscarriage. And, I was glad I had not missed out on a great job on top of the pregnancy loss. |
