Interviewing while pregnant and the mixed feelings that go along

I'm in such an odd situation.

You know how when you are TTC forever and everyone around you says...relax...or

"just have something stressful happen in your life and you'll get pregnant"

Like finding out that you're losing your job can actually get you knocked up! HA!

hmmm....wait a second.....

Seriously though, I'm kidding. It was just a random coincidence.

But to the real issue. What the hell do I do??

I found out it could happen a couple months earlier now. By July.

I have a few options and have no clue what to do.

1) I've already started interviewing, had a couple with no calls back. Honestly though, how long can I do this? I know I won't start showing for many many weeks BUT lets say I get offered a job when I'm at like 11weeks, still not showing but it feels so dishonest. At least at this point I can always say, sorry I took the job before I knew! And it would be believable!

2)Hope that I get an offer for retention and get to stay on at my current company for a few months after close to be the wrap-up crew.

3)Hope the new company wants me? Highly unlikely but I guess possible...

4)Just wait it out and get on unemployment. Take my maternity leave early and look for a job after. <----------- this option is scary!

I suppose I should just start doing the math and see what my best option might be. Yikes.

eeek! Stressful! But..... if this is what got me knocked up....I'll take it :)
