It is hard for something to come along like that when you are looking for a job. I would say to let them know that you are pregnant but willing to work until the time comes that you have to take off. I have known a lot of people that have done that and the emplyer has allowed them to work during that time.

I had a similar situation occur at my office (I work in HR). We hired a young woman and she started with us after her honeymoon. Well after a few months it became pretty obvious that she was pregnant. She finally broke down and told her manager and us in HR. She had a complete "action plan" and was fully prepared to answer any concerns we had. She worked right up until her due date and even trained the person who was taking over for her. She took an abbreviated maternity leave AND worked part-time from home during the leave she did take.

Be prepared to volunteer the information as you get closer to an offer. Prepare a plan of action to present to the employer so that they know you are serious about working as hard as you can as long as you can.

Honestly, I work in the corporate world. We do hire people that are expecting but many companies aren't that way. I would suggest not mentioning it until you have to... wait until at least 3 months along. That way it is to the point that they may need to know.
