Do I have an obligation to inform a potential employer of my pregnancy?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) February 15th, 2011 from iPhone

I’m starting to apply to a few different places due to my current job not paying nearly enough for the amount of work I do. If I have interviews with any of these potential employers, must I tell them I’m pregnant? Or can it wait until I’m hired? I feel as though telling them something like that right away would decrease my chances of getting the job. I’m only a little over 9 weeks. I’m not really showing yet. What should I do?

Edit: I should add that these positions I’m applying for are desk jobs. So there isn’t a possibility of any work I wouldn’t be able to perform due to my pregnancy.
