[quote=Anonymous]Once you have the offer ask for full details on benefits including health insurance, leave policies, etc. - that is a very normal thing to want. With that documentation you should have an answer to what leave they offfer and what you qualify for based on start date. That will give you your technical answers.

Now how your manager/team feels about you taking mat leave so soon into a new role is another story. I personally don't think it's a big deal given how early you are in your pregnancy. It's not like you're going to start the job and leave a week later. You have no obligation to disclose, but I understand the reality of how "hiding it" can be perceived.

If you got good vibes and the benefits documentation they offered you suggests that you qualify for leave, I would discuss it when you have the offer in hand. If you're don't get clear anwers on what you likely qualify for, I would disclose later in your pregnancy and hope that the good work you've done until then will demonstrate to them that you are an asset worth supporting.
