[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say anything until you have an offer in hand. If it is that obvious, they may pick up on it. If it's not, why take the chance? Once you have the offer, you can tell them. For all you know it may take another month or two to wind your way through the interview stage. And it will be harder for them to reject you if they've already made up their mind that you are the candidate they want. But if you tell them and then don't get the offer, you'll never know if it was due to pregnancy or other reasons.

I like a PP's idea of just negotiating your start date to be after you've already taken leave in your current job. I am not sure about what you're calling terminal leave, but just set your departure date 14 weeks post partum. Or if you think they might deny you the extra leave if they know you aren't staying on -- which, since you're covered by FMLA, they can't, at least as to 12 weeks of it -- just take the leave, and THEN tell them you are departing. It is not a big deal. Employees come and go all the time, even from the federal government. Unless you are retiring, which takes a lot of paperwork, it just isn't that hard to process someone out. They have to pay you for your accumulated and unused leave anyway, so you get it one way or the other.[/quote]
