Job Interviews/ New jobs

Anyone switch jobs while pregnant? Do you tell them that you are pregnant?
I stopped searching for a new job after finding out I was pregnant, It just seemed like no one would hire me after that.
Also, if you started a new job....did the health insurance pick up your 'pre-existing' pregnancy?
I HATE my job...every day in this place wears me down and stresses me out. My plan (since finding out I was pregnant) was to stay on through my pregnancy...use the benefits that are offered (8 wks off with pay) then not come back 
Any advice????

My advice would be to stick it out. You could apply and interview for jobs if you want, but definitely be upfront and honest about your pregnancy. I have known a few women that were not only to be let go further down the road before they went out on maternity leave, the employer would just look for any reason to fire them. Not to mention most employer require that you have been working for them for so long, usually at least a year before you get PAID maternity leave. If you cannot afford to take the time off without the pay after your baby if born then your best option might be to stay where you are at for now and then start looking for a new job after your baby is born, seeing how you did not plan on going back to this current place anyway.
