Just been offered a job, am a couple of months gone with twins and my employers don't know

[lolianja]

Perhaps foolishly I said nothing during the interview and didn't worry too much afterwards because I came across like such a disaster-attracting clown that I didn't think I had an icicle's chance in hell of ever being let into the building ever again, let alone given a job! Fortunately and unfortunately, it seems I was wrong.

The job's in central London, I'm 20 year old, have recently moved to Solihull from Essex with my partner and we have a three-month-old boy. Now two more babies on the way - don't ask.

I assume I'm legally obliged to tell my new employers about the pregnancy, but at what stage? I know in theory they can't give me my marching orders because I'm pregnant but does this actually apply in practice?

I feel very daft for lying (by omission) now and am wondering what I ought to do next.

Thanks in advance.

sorry LG, it's not working, you're just you

now you, MA, sound interesting and mysterious. Tell me more about yourself.

darn it, done it again! Just don't out me in a searchable way!

The maths does add up. Her DS is 13 weeks old. She is 10 weeks pregnant so probably conceived about 8 weeks ago. This would have made her DS about 5 weeks. Her DS was born the 1st June and she got pregnant the first week in April which was when her DS would have been about 5 weeks old. So the maths of all that does add up. Presumably she found out 3 weeks later (when her DS was 8 weeks old) that she was pregnant.

I don't know how much admin jobs pay an hour but I'd be surprised if working 19.5 hours a week will even cover the £264 train fare.
