[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have been wondering this myself. Trying to leave a job the last two months, been applying with no luck so far, no interviews even. I just found out a couple weeks ago that I'm expecting, and trying to figure out if I should give up on the new job, keep interviewing until I show, keep interviewing for the duration...?

Considering using it as an excuse to leave my current job and boss I dislike, and then just try to apply to new jobs again during maternity leave once I'm ready to go back.

For those that would interview while pregnant, would you expect a new job to start during your pregnancy and then provide leave benefits? Or would you expect to negotiate a months-away start date for after your delivery/maternity?[/quote]

Leave is tricky.  You have to be at a place for a year before you are entitled to FMLA, I think, and company policies may also require a certain amount of time in the position to be eligible for any leave.  Plus, if you start during pregnancy, work a few months, and then take 3 months off, what's the benefit to the employer?  I think that starting the job after you have the baby is cleaner, assuming that the company is willing/needs the later start date. [/quote]
