Just keep in mind that family medical leave act doesn't cover you until you've been with an employer for a year, so they could conceivably replace you while you were on maternity leave. It would be an incredibly boneheaded thing for a hospital to do, and I doubt they would, but it is certainly a reason to bring it up early with the manager. Not during the job interview, but before you're showing and she thinks that you blindsided her.
When I graduated in 1976 I was 4 months pregnant and not married. That was a big deal back then. I got a job working in a nursing home for 3 years. They were great to me and love my son.After I left the nursing home , I went to work at the hospital that I am working at now. that has lasted 28 yrs!:roll

Maternity leave is separate from FMLA. She owes a potential no information whatsoeve related to her pregnancy.

I am just wondering what to do with trying to find a job and being 4 months pregnant. I have a feeling that some will look at me and think that in 5 months I'll need time off and go with another applicant. Plus I'm a new grad with no experience! Do I even tell them at the time of interview (I'm not showing much yet)? Any advice is appreciated!
