Looking for a job- should I tell them I am pregnant?

I am currently looking for a job and I am 13 weeks pregnant... showing just a little. I was wondering if I should tell them that I am pregnant when I apply for a job??





I am afraid that someone wont hire me since I am pregnant... yet, I don't want to lie- or get fired only a few weeks later.





I am thinking about applying at a daycare- should I tell them?

I think you should tell them you are the probley wil take you caue you will be having the expirence of being a parnet and later on in your life you wil become better and better after you have your child and you will be more tranied. They will probley think that you wil get better when you are a parnet so take and good luck
Reply:I would not say anything until you were hired. They have to hire for the position. This means that they can not discriminate on any level including your condition of being pregnant, not that they would but the young go-getter fresh out of college 22 year old may start to look like less of a liability than someone who will need time off in 27 weeks. Once you are hired you can then explain your situation because they can also not fire you for being pregnant. Good Luck.
Reply:if you are applying anywhere the best thing to do at this stage is not say anything, and if they ask (which they cant) then tell the truth. But they will not ask, and you should not tell until after you are officially hired. The reason being that they CANT fire you for being prego.. but they CAN make up another reason for not hiring you (since not hiring you for being prego is illegal). Keep it to yourself until you are hired.
Reply:I wouldnt go out of your way to tell them. My girlfriend had went through the same situation. It is illegal for them to not hire you due to being pregnant but it happens all the time. They just wont tell you thats why. I would say anything. Most places dont ask you if your pregnant during an interview. Once you get the job and feel comfortable spread the news! Goodluck
Reply:They can't denied you a job b/c your a pregnant you can actually sue b/c is a way of discrimination. I say go to the interview and let them know on the spot that way all the cards are on the table.
Reply:I didn't tell my job till about a month after I got the job because I was afraid that they wouldn't hire me. When I ended up telling them they didn't care. They cant fire you for the fact that your pregnant, that's discrimination. Good Luck
Reply:wait til they offer you the job then tell them. you dont legally have to tell them til 5 months
Reply:i think the daycare will be pretty accepting... but other jobs, probably not as much.
Reply:DO NOT TELL HIM.
