Pregnant new grad

Hi everyone!!!!
I am graduating in May 2008, and by the time I can start my orientation I will be 12 weeks pregnant. I applied for several positions, but I did not yet choose any. Should I tell my employer about the pregnancy? What shift to choose night? Days? Or maybe it is better to wait till a baby is born? I had miscarriage before, and I am worried about the amount of stress I will have when I start working.
I was very anxious to start a job, but now I feel even more anxious. How do pregnant nurses manage working during pregnancy? How do co-workers react to PG? I do not know what to do?
Thank you for your time and advise!

Re: Pregnant new grad

Congratulations!
Please don't get caught up with the employment part of it. You can always come back to kick off your career after you have the baby. You have mentioned issues related to stress, In my opinion, you maybe a little stressed a new job and all. I say, speak to your doctor, your spouse, family support system and most importantly, listen to your body, listen to YOU.

You are going to have a baby!!!
