I am interviewing with a company and just found out that I am 2 months pregnant. Should I tell the company now or wait for the offer?

Hi, even though it is your choice in the end, since you asked, I would suggest you be upfront about it and tell your possible employer that you found out you are pregnant. First up, congrats on the pregnancy :) If you delay it and disclose once you have the offer letter, it may create a negative image. Your employers may feel cheated and the trust they would have otherwise placed in you as an employee may waver. I would suggest be honest about it and tell them that you are extremely happy about this new development, but that you are also very passionate and dedicated towards your career, and that you will not let your pregnancy status affect your work (till the time you need to go on maternity leave that is). I am sure if the company is genuinely caring of its employees it will understand. All the best! :)
