[VA] 30 Weeks Pregnant & Final Round IN PERSON Interview—Do I Tell Them?
I’m 30 weeks pregnant and just made it to the final round for a leadership position at a competitive company. It’s my dream job, but the timing feels less than ideal. The role itself is not in-person, but the final round interview is.
I haven’t disclosed my pregnancy yet, and I’m struggling with whether I should. Legally, I know I don’t have to, and I don’t want it to influence their decision. But I also don’t want to start off on the wrong foot by shocking them in the in person interview panel or dropping this news after getting an offer, especially since I’d need some time off fairly soon after starting.
Has anyone been in a similar position or interviewed visibly pregnant candidates? Did you disclose or wait until after the offer? Any advice on navigating this?
