Would you take a new job knowing you are preg, but not say?

Currently a hypothetical dilemma, but could be real very soon: I am due to be made redundant in 2 months. I had a really promising interview this week... However I am also hoping for a BFP in about a week.

If (fingers crossed) it goes well and I get the job and my BFP, would you tell them?
I know legally I don't have to tell them, and even if I do, they can't really withdraw the offer; but I'm looking to join middle management in a big company and can't help but feel it would count against me for a long time...

I wouldnt say a word, at the time of your interview you were not pregnant, you dont have to tell your employer for months and pregnancy has no bearing on your ability to do the job. Thats just me though, i worked in middle management for a massive company and was sickened by discrimination that took place so im now of the opinion. Dont tell them anything that doesnt relate to the job or your ability to carry out the role.

oh..and fingers crossed for your BFP

You dont have to tell them until a certain point in your pregnancy so the choice is yours.

Its not something I could personally do as I would feel really bad knowing they would have to get cover for me within the first year of employment.
