what about watching a child. You could do that through your whole pregnancy probably.

I would feel obligated to disclose it, HOWEVER, you are under absolutely no legal obligation to disclose it and they are not allowed to ask you.

don't tell them - it's irrelevant first of all, illegal for them to ask 2nd of all, and third, since this is a part-time temporary job and not a career move, it doesn't matter in the long-run anyway.

I would probably disclose it. Not because you have to, but morally, I would feel that I had to.

Not to get everyone angry and have them start flaming me - but why is there a moral obligation to tell someone personal information about yourself, such as that you are pregnant?

There is a reason that an employer is not legally permitted to ask about this.

People take jobs all the time without planning to stay there forever. They do not disclose this to the interviewer. I see no reason why just because you're pregnant, this makes a difference and you should tell them.
