hide bump or not?

So i been applying lately to a few different companies for a job im 11weeks pregnant but tbh i look about 6 im huge so i think this may cause a problem if i was to get a job interview being pregnant! Do i hide my baby bump or tell them? I dont wanna lose this job oppurtunity due to pregnancy because i still feel ready for a job :/

Definitely definitely hide it. Unfortunately, even if you're only 11 weeks, you probably won't find work if you tell them you're pregnant. You're early enough along that you could get away with saying you didn't know.

Deff hide it. They "legally" can't not hire you cause your pregnant but they wouldn't come out and say it they could say something as simple as "we found someone else" which they probably will do because your pregnant. Once you've got the job your secure so tell them than. I would honestly bet money that you will not get a job if you tell them

Your only 11 weeks so I say hide it. No one will hire a pregnant lady. Trust me im 25 weeks so I have to tell them at this point but I have had absolutely no luck cuz of it. I know they say they cant discriminate but they do! You can always say later on you just found out. Only thing you got a worry about is heavy lifting

By law they cannot deny you a job cause your pregnant, however they loop hole around it and can say another reason why they won't / can't hire you. I'd be honest up front

I would let them know immediately, because if you go in there and get the job, there's no hiding it later on.
