[quote=Anonymous]thanks, PP (OP here).  At my CURRENT job, I plan on taking off 14 weeks because as a fed, I have all those lovely holidays in the winter (so that makes up a week) and I have a ton of sick/annual leave that I have saved up for this purpose - so it would be one week of fed holidays (lets call that a "free" week) and 13 weeks of combined sick and annual.

With a new job, I would (I think) be OK with 12 weeks, 10 if I had to but that wouldn't be easy.  Yes this is my first (and probably only!) child.

I 110% plan on returning to work.  We are on a huge number of day care lists, and have been since I was 6 weeks pregnant.  If I do not have a slot, I will find or start a nanny share.

I will also be working (at this new job) a short walk from home.

I think I am passing as "chubby", but I'm not actively hiding anything.  I'm not wearing pregnancy flattering clothes to these interviews (empire waistes, etc)  And as I said, I'm not actively discussing it nor hiding it.

Assuming they can fire me if I start the job after disclosing during negotiations that I'm pregnant, I'd be screwed.  But wouldn't it make more sense just to take back their offer?  [/quote]
