<prompt> Human: As the title states, my girlfriend is 12 weeks and 4 days. She will finish her externship for Medical Administration before the end of next week. She is working back office and medical assisting for a surgeon who is not hiring. Its time to look for a job.How up front should she be about her pregnancy? Should she wear a loose top and avoid the topic? Is it best to mention her pregnancy during a job offer, or after being hired? I know its illegal to discriminate against her for being pregnant, but that wont stop someone from lying about why they chose another candidate.Looking for advice from anyone who has been in this position, or on the hiring end, please advise!Edit: We are both covered with full benefits through my employer. Everything from medical to legal services. I am also being provided with paternity leave that consists of 16 weeks off with full pay. She likely wouldnt be off more than 12 weeks.  <response>: Id suggest informing the new employer shortly after being hired. This avoids any potential concern she may have of discrimination based on being pregnant. Be aware in some states small employers are allowed to discriminate based on pregnancy as it causes undue hardship to the employer.
