To tell or not to tell

[DVMmomma]

There should be a poll attached to this. I have a job interview tomorrow for a desk job where I answer phones and give medical advice. This is very appealing to me as this pregnancy progresses because working overnights as an ER doc isn't going to fly for much longer. I wouldn't say it's my dream job by any means but it'll be nice supplemental income while we prep for the twins. 

I am already showing but I can suck it in for the interview if need be. I just worry it won't be long until I'm discovered anyway and maybe it's better to just be up front. 

ETA for those who are mobile: The question is if I should tell the people interviewing me tomorrow that I'm pregnant or not.

I'm mobile so can't do the clicky poll. It's your call if you want to tell them. I probably wouldn't in the interview but I might tell them when I accepted the position so they have some warning.

No don't tell them until you have a job offer in hand.

And come hang out on the working parents board. It's a great group of ladies

I voted other, but basically have similar advice to the PP.

I wouldn't give them any reason to not hire you, just in case it would somehow factor into their decision. You should give yourself the upper hand, and just bring it up once you're hired.

Good luck with the interview, and ultimately whatever you decide!

I agree with pp - mot until you have an offer of employment

[schmella]

I wouldn't say a thing until I was officially hired.

[requiressnacks]

I said "other", but I really mean No. Not because I don't think they'll hire you, but I think you'll be in a better position if you have the offer first.

[pbandj714]

Same as the others have said, I would wait to tell them until you're hired.

[schmella]

I just wanted to add, although you may be showing, its probably not obvious that you're pregnant to people who don't know you. And I see a lot of "not until you have an offer" and I just want to point out that an offer, in many cases, can be rescinded. Which is why I would wait as long as possible to disclose your pregnancy. I had a boss who just straight up hated pregnant women- being a married woman of child bearing age, she probably wouldn't have hired me (just knowing that it was POSSIBLE I'd get knocked up) if not for upper management pushing. Maybe the position is open because someone got pregnant, took leave, and then decided not to come back and they've been understaffed for 3+ months without being able to hire. Maybe they've dealt with someone who took advantage of their pregnancy to stop doing work- you just never know who is sitting across the table from you.

Agree with PP's. Wait until you are actually working there and maybe a few weeks after that as we'll. Good Luck with the interview!!!

Thanks everyone!! I think I nailed the interview so fingers crossed! I'll take your advice schmella and wait to tell them until after they see how awesome I am

Also guess what?! I squeezed into one pair of my dress pants. It was terrible and I unbuttoned/unzipped them the second the interview was over. But I did it!
