Hi everyone, just a quick question. last month i was made redundant by my company i had worked for almost 2 years, and at the time thought i was 8 weeks pregnant. (employers did not know this). but when i went to 12 week scan it turned out i was actually 16 weeks + 2 days. So now I have my 1st interview with the nhs next week and have mixed views whether i should tell them about my pregnancy or not. I think i could hide my bump as im not huge. however i'm 20 weeks on Tuesday....what are my legal rights?? could they sack me if they infact hired me? x

Well if you don't want to tell them, because you fear you won't get the job then I guess you don't have to. However, you may be put on a 3 month trial and by that time they will probably know and may cancel your employment with you, because they may feel you've been dishonest.

Also you will not be entitled to any maternity pay.
tell them, it really is the best option and wont bar you from being employed by them. A friend of mine was 5 months preg when she got a job with NHS direct
dont tell them at interview stage,

if you get the job and you go on trial time and you tell them you are pregnant and they get ride of you during that time or after that and you FEEL that you were finished because your pregnant (no proff needed) take them to employment tribural.

this sort of thing happened to me tribural are very good to pregnant women
