Pregnant and about to start new job

That's it in a nutshell! I'm just about to start a new (fairly senior) role and I've just found out I'm pregnant with third baby. Absolutely wasn't planned and now I have no idea what to do. I feel so guilty joining the new company when I'll only be there for six months before going on mat leave, so much so that I almost feel like saying I can't now accept the role but then that leaves us stuffed financially. DH thinks I should tell th on day one but a friend thinks I should wait until after my 12 week scan in case something goes wrong with the pregnancy. I just feel so guilty as it's a fairly small company and I'm worried they're going to hate me when they find out. I have every intention of returning to the job after mat leave, which DH fully supports and my other two DCs are at school. Argh advice please!!! Thanks.

Hi all
Just thought I'd let you know that I told my manager on day 2 and he was so understanding (which naturally made me blub as my emotions are all over the place atm). He was really appreciative that I'd been so honest at the start with him
So I can breathe a massive sigh of relief. Thanks again for taking the time to offer your advice and thoughts....
