How do I tell my new job that I’m pregnant?

Hello everyone, 😃
This is the first time I’ve ever posted in a forum and I’m freaking out😅... So I’m a nursery practitioner and at the end of July I interviewed for a new job and was offered the position. When I accepted I didn’t know I was pregnant🤰🏻, my official starting date is September 7th and I’ll be about 7 weeks pregnant by then.
Should I tell them that I’m pregnant immediately? Or wait till the end of the first trimester? 😬😬
I feel like I’m being deceitful if I wait to tell them until I’m 3 months pregnant..
I don’t know what to do... 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’d appreciate any advice.
Sorry for the long post..

I'd wait until you've passed probation. They obviously can't get rid of you because you're pregnant, but it's relatively easy for them to simply say you've failed probation.

@edwinbear My work probation period is six months...
