[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I completely agree, but I think negotiating job security at THIS point is more valuable than a significantly higher salary....no?

And I think it would be different if I were early or middle pregnancy - but I'm almost 26 weeks.  So it's a very odd situation.  I'm mostly worried about keeping the job.

This is why I'm torn.  [/quote]

I would be more concerned with disclosing if you were much earlier on. When I was 26 weeks, there was no mistaking the fact that I was pregnant and not just chubby and tired looking. Anyone who had offered me a job at that point would have done so knowing that I would be taking at least a couple months off.  If they make you an offer, assume that you are worth the same as you would be worth not pregnant (because you ARE), and negotiate your time off honestly.

Out of curiosity, how much time are you planning to take off? Is this your first child? What kinds of childcare plans will you have in place upon returning to work?[/quote]
