I have a somewhat similar issue - I am NOT currently pregnant but would love to start trying in the next few months.  I am also actively job searching.  Of course I will not say anything during an interview, but I worry about being at a company for less than one year and getting pregnant.  I would most likely be CLOSE to one year but just never know depending on how long the job search is and how long it takes to conceive.... [/quote]

Not the OP. Disclosing at an interview that you would like to start trying for a family is a nonsense to me. It is your personal life and you don't have to explain/justify it. We started trying 3 years ago and thought it would take 3-6 months to get pregnant because we were young and healthy. Well, 3 years later, 2 surgeries and 6IVFs, and I am still not pregnant. It does not mean the same will happen to you. Just telling you that you are overthinking and what you plan, may not be the way things happen (for reasons beyond your control).

Women get pregnant all the time. If you are professional and do your job, it is likely the company will make efforts to keep you post pregnancy. Good people are hard to find even in this economy. And if the company would fire you over pregnancy, you probably don't want to work at such environment anyway.[/quote]
