I had a job when my wife and I decided to have a baby. She was about 8 weeks pregnant when I told my manager. I ended up leaving that job when she was 4 months pregnant and disclosed that she was pregnant to prospective employers during offer negotiations.

I wouldn't have taken a job at a company that wasn't supportive. It also allowed me to transparently negotiate around the things that mattered to me.

Thanks for sharing. Did you get any negative reactions from prospective employers when you told them?
