Your going to end up serving in 6 months if you postpone it. I'd probably go and if they are interviewing you for a trial looking 8 months pregnant they will probably dismiss you

I'd show up and tell them you're due in a week. They'll toss you out so fast your head will spin!!! Then you're good for a few years Chat Icon

Ita. Get it over with. They'll dismiss you anyway. If you postpone it then you'd have to go back while having a toddler and a newborn.

Just go!!

I got a summons when I was 36 weeks pregnant. I went and the let me leave after about 3 hours and now I'm good for 7 years. Once they saw my belly they wanted nothing to do with me.

Re: Jury Duty

Show up and get it over with. Tell them you are due soon and they will dismiss you. They don't want to put you on a case if it will stress you or send you into labor.

ETA, if postpone and they call you in a few mo you will also be excused by sending your DCs birth cert in.

I would go, once they see how pregnant you are they will dismiss you. They could just postpone you for another 6 months down the line. I believe you can only use a birth certificate to get out of it only if you don't work FT.

Re: Jury Duty

LOL- walk in and tell them you are having some contractions.
They will toss you out and then you are good for the next 7 years or whatever!
