Hi, i have just been offered my dream job at a state school and should start in january. The headteacher called me after the interview to make the offer and said they would be in touch next week so i go and sign paper work. I am almost 20 weeks pregnant and dont know whether they realised that. I think they may just have thought i was fat! Certainly nobody would have had the right to ask me during the interview process! But now i am really really stressed at the idea of telling them that i will go on maternity leave from late february till provably early june/july. I feel really bad regarding my future students as well as they will get to know me and then i' ll be off for several months and then come back... So my questions are: can the school withdraw the offer once they find out? Should i wait till i signed the contract before telling them about pregnancy? Thanks.
