[quote=Anonymous]I was earlier in my pregnancy than you are, but I interviewed for a job while pregnant with a government entity. I think I disclosed to the HR officials when I accepted the position (maybe 12 weeks along?), but I did not say anything directly to the people I would be working for. I started when I was around 15 weeks pregnant. I disclosed pretty early on after I started, though, to my boss and coworkers (maybe a month later). I received 8 weeks paid leave, which was what they were required to give me by law. If they aren't required to give you anything, you really will need to disclose when you accept to find out what you'll receive/negotiate paid/unpaid leave. (ridiculous that this is where we are in 2025, but alas). My employer will make exceptions and offer unpaid leave for folks who had pre-planned vacations before they can build up paid leave days. If they want you, they'll deal with a few months of leave to get you on board for the long haul.[/quote]
