I'm 11weeks pregnant at the moment and about to apply for a secondment at work. It would be to start in June and end in May (I'm due 2nd Dec so obviously would leave part way through, planning on working as long as poss to have all my leave with baby).
My previous boss is the only person at work who knows I am pregnant as she recently interviewed me for another secondment and I failed at the interview as really wasn't in the right head set for it having just found out that week about being pregnant. I told her so she would understand as she thought I would get the post. She mentioned this role coming up and said I would breeze it and to go for it anyway.
Despite her reassurances to go for it even with the pregnancy I'm a bit apprehensive because I would be in the role for such a short period of time. I already work in the team so I know all the team involved. I also know that they want a bit of stability as it is a key role. They were all very annoyed when the current postholder got a secondment elsewhere hence this being a secondment to fill the gap.
Would you still go for it? I know I can do the job (I'm covering 1/2 of it at the moment whilst its vacant) its just I don't want to mess the team around.
