Legally they can't ask so just don't tell them

By law they cannot ask you if your pregnant and by law you are not required to inform them before hire. I interviewed at 6 months pregnant, I wasn't really showing yet and wore a flowy top, I got the job and at 7 months I informed my boss I was expecting. (Which everybody already knew due to our uniforms showing my tummy more) they did not care at all, and was very happy for me. I was all worked up and nervous for nothing. And if u do happened to get fired for announcing your pregnant. Sue them!

I had an interview at 15 weeks in, wasn't showing at the time but they cannot ask and you do not have to tell until you need to put in a maternity leave.  In my experience everyone was happy for me.

How far are you? If you're not showing yet or just a little don't say anything. I had the same dilemma. I got the job at about 12 weeks. Was mostly bloated so I just hid it. I acted like a surprise 2 weeks later once my training was over and I felt like I had made a good impression. Legally they can't say no to you cuz your preggo but they can simply say we found someone with better experience and it be a lie. No one would ever know. I would just keep it quiet and when you're comfortable enough tell your employer :) good luck. I was scared and it turned out not bad at all
