pregnant teacher- interview help
i will be interviewing for a job in may and will be about 22 weeks pregnant. i am due at the end of september. it is in the same district that i am in but in a different building.
my principal supports and is excited that i am pregnant. the asst. superentendent of hiring also knows i am pregnant and is fully encouraging me to apply for the job when posted. i am nervous that the other principals will judge and not hire because i am pregnant. do i tell them in the interview that i dont plan on any additional time off after the baby is born? i plan on taking 3 weeks. do i bring that up or just leave the issue alone?
thanks for the advice!

Re: pregnant teacher- interview help
You're due at the very beginning of the school year. You are nuts for thinking that you'll be ready to return to work 3 weeks postpartum. If I was interviewing you, there's absolutely no way that I'd offer you the job.....you wouldn't be available to work at a critical time.
Could you sub next year, and focus on finding a full-time teaching job for 2012-2013?
Seriously, at 3 weeks postpartum you are going to be a hormonal, sleep-deprived zombie. You will be in no shape to work, especially work that involves thinking and interacting with lots of people. You may still be in a lot of pain, depending on your labor. If you have a c-section, you aren't even cleared to drive for 2 weeks afterwards.
I agree. I felt great post c-section with both girls but there's no way you'll be ready for a full day of teaching with teh bleeding, the leaking and the lack of sleep. Sorry, not a good time for a new job,
Go for it! A long term sub can open the school year and then you takeover. This is not an unheard of situation people!
ETA: yeah, 3 weeks. Not enough. You may have to take some unpaid leave. But if they like you and want to hire you they deal with the fact you are having a baby and get a sub.
There's nothing wrong with interviewing, and if they want you enough they won't have a problem getting a sub for your maternity leave. If they don't, they won't hire you. It's really that simple.
But... 3 weeks? That's crazy talk. Unless you are really in dire financial straits, there's no way I would even consider going back that soon... ESPECIALLY to a basically brand-new job. And working with needy kids all day! Oy vey. That's just nuts.
Does your current principal and the one at the new school know each other? I'm guessing since it's the same district (but it could be huge so you never know).
If they do know each other current principal will tell potential new principal you're pregnant. If that doesn't happen, the new principal should be able to tell you're over 5 months pregnant when you interview.
Based on that I don't know how you'd possibly have a shot at the new job. Stick with the one you've got, at least for another year.
