I interviewed at 8 mos pregnant. I just said I'd start after 6 weeks off. It was timed with the completion of my internship, so it just kind of worked.

I was called with a job offer (different job) while I was in labor. wheee!

I have had 3 friends do this with great success. If you're worth it, its no big thing

sent from my I crashed my car into a bridge. I don't care. I love it.

I was hired for my current job while pregnant I'm a teacher though so they just had me start the next school year. When I promptly got pregnant again. I don't recommend that second part lol but good luck interviewing! I didn't find it to be a deal breaker.

probably only bad if you're applying to be a cage fighter.

I interviewed and got hired at 7 months pregnant. Best thing I ever did. Go for it!!

my H has hired plenty of pregnant ladies. the only thing that has ever come up is if you don't have benefits yet (waiting period) OR if you need short/long term disability, you have to have so many hours banked or whatever, so just cover your ass on benefits.

I interviewed and was hired at 6 months. There were no issues.

Ok, this is making me feel better. Thanks you guys.

Nbd, in my opinion.

I applied for and accepted a promotion at 12 weeks pg. I realize this is somewhat different, but I would never let being pg stand In the way of applying for something I really wanted.

you could always fake labor if the interview isn't going well

And I'll tell you the same thing I told alzi! I interviewed 4 days before my due date and got the job. Anything can happen. :-)

Never reduce your opportunities because of pregnancy or babies. You can make decisions that benefit you and your family, (like not taking a job bc it isn't family friendly, for example) but you never want to cut your chances off at the pass. You never know what can happen!

I interviewed at 6 months pg. I was very upfront with the higher-ups in my closed door session about "Yes, I'm pregnant, and my plan is to return to work at such-and-such date, I'm very interested in finding a place where I can be long term, etc etc" to dissuade any notion of "Oooh, will she change her mind afterwards?"
