Hello All,

I was laid off in May 26'. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant and interviewing for a job (Wall Street bank) that is a good fit. My bump is showing but has not completely popped - honestly could pass as fat in my midsection with the proper loose fitting shirt. I know I am not supposed to be discriminated against during the hiring process, but let's be real women in finance are discriminated even when not pregnant. The thing is I do need a job.... so I am trying. The last interview I had was with a bank looking to hire by end of July - I am due November 3rd. My question is how do you recommend playing this? At some point they might ask me to come in person. Do I try to conceal carry my child? Do I tell them then? Do I tell them after/if I get an offer? I am a bit lost. Thank you for the advice.
