So this particular bridge hasn't actually materialised yet, but I really want to know what to do if it does.
Context - after DS was born, I was made redundant so had to find a new job. Found a one year maternity cover contract which ended in March. While doing this contract (all went very well, they were talking about keeping me etc etc) I got pregnant and the baby was due in June - so the plan was to finish contract and have a couple of months off before DC2 arrived.
Unfortunately we lost the baby at 20 weeks, work were great, very supportive etc, so then finished the contract and found myself out of work (they didn't get the budget they were hoping for to keep me on).
Have been looking ever since - now the same place have got a job going, another one year contract, and I've applied for it. Hoping to hear about an interview this week. The thing is, there's a very slim chance I could be pg again, and if I was, obviously I wouldn't be able to finish this contract if they offered it to me.
So when do I tell them, if I am? At the first interview? After I start the job, if they offer it to me? I don't want to piss them off by not telling them, as I definitely won't be able to complete the contract. But then again, I don't want to put them in the position of worrying that I might shout discrimination if they don't give it to me after I tell them.
Dilemma, please help! What would an employer look favourably upon?
