job hunting while pregnant??

Ok I've researched this topic n read all kinds of responses. Has anyone gotten hired while they were pregnant & were able to stay with the company? & did u disclose ur pregnancy before or after u were hired? I'm 22 weeks & I'm showing & I have an interview. It's funny because I haven't been applying to any jobs lately but I got a call for one. I just want to know if I should go ahead n go or just say forget it because they may not take me serious?? Help!!!

I was rehired at a company I had worked for in the past at 20 weeks. I wasn't really showing, but I was still sick.  It was a rehire though, and I had left before on really good terms.

One of my friends is 6 months pregnant, and heavily showing and she just got a job! So its worth a try.

I got hired when I was 15 weeks, and I'm 21 weeks now. I didn't tell anyone at first but now everyone knows cause I'm not considered new anymore lol and its only temporary so I'm fine with it!

That's what I was thinking to do, just see if they hire me & then tell them. It's not like I'm lying about anything! Plus the job I'm at now is 45 minutes away, but the job I'm interviewing for is right by my house like 15 minutes away!!

I would go and maybe wear a jacket or something loose. And disclose my pregnancy once I got hired.

Sometimes they'll take you & sometimes they'll say come back after you give birth. Chances are they're interviewing other people & they probably won't choose a pregnant lady, but hey my sister got hired at 7 mos prego & a big belly so its possible.
