[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really uncomfortable with the fact that you lied five times.

I'm also really uncomfortable with the suggestion that you listen to your training while getting a scan. Do NOT do this.

I vote for telling your manager. They probably wouldn't be thrilled, but I don't think they would fire you. (Pregnancy protections are decent.) [/quote]

Op. I can't train while I am getting the scan. Probably impossible during week 3 but who knows? Sometimes during the first week, it's busy work. I don't consider it a "lie". You can disclose a disability and that's what pregnancy is after you're hired for this very reason. The start date for my job was also pushed back by more than a month. I haven't begun the job yet and I do not feel comfortable emailing my manager before I begin to disclose any of this. [/quote]

Pregnancy is not a disability.[/quote]

It is according to the ADA. [/quote]
Nope.

“The third law is the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is called the “ADA.” The ADA prohibits discrimination against an applicant or employee based on a disability, including a disability related to a pregnancy such as diabetes that develops during pregnancy. [b]While pregnancy itself is not a disability under the ADA[/b], some pregnant workers may have one or more impairments related to their pregnancy that qualify as a “disability” under the ADA. An employer may have to provide that worker with a reasonable accommodation for the pregnancy-related disability.”

Medical conditions arising from pregnancy are ADA covered. But just being pregnant is not a covered disability.[/quote]

Same thing. You know what she meant. Pregnant women get reasonable accommodations. Everyone knows that. [/quote]
