Found out recently that I am pregnant. I am currently in negotiations for a new job at a different company. Should I tell them before signing/joining?

Dravidianism vs. Hindutva?
I was in a similar situation couple of weeks ago. I stuck to my current job considering the fact I was more comfortable at the current work place in terms of work pressure and benefits
It all depends on what the other company is.
Ah, in that case, you should not disclose and you should go there if you otherwise would have. Try to make this a rational decision based on what’s good for you. After the baby is born, working AND looking for another job is going to be more difficult and stressful. You likely won’t be able to do it for another 6 months after that, period, and then you might feel bad about leaving right after using your maternity leave. If you switch now, you’ll still have several good months of contributing to your new team. Just don’t worry about it.
Check policies. My previous employer had 1 year clause for paternity leave. But since you are the mom and going to google, I don’t see why this would be a problem.
I wouldn’t tell them and I would decide what your needs are personally and what benefits are important to you. For example, I think FMLA laws are for employees that have been with a company for a full year.
I have made the mistake of telling the company I was interviewing with that I was pregnant. I will never know why I wasn’t selected, but the possibility that it could be my pregnancy hurts a lot. You could contribute a good 5-6 months to your new role before you go on maternity break. You may want to find out whether their benefits starts immediately or after 1 year of being employed. But I would highly recommend not telling them right now.
There's no need to tell them now. I would even go so far as to not tell them until you are showing. I was in a similar situation years ago, and waiting until I was 18 weeks to say anything (I was about 8 weeks along when I started). By that point I had proven my worth to the team and so there were no hard feelings over my taking maternity leave so soon - my team was actually very supportive.
If you don't show til late in the pregnancy, is that bad if you don't tell them until then?
You don't want to wait so long that your manager has to scramble to figure out what to do while you're out on leave, as that can cause issues and resentment for the late notice. But, if you aren't comfortable saying anything, definitely wait. I would suggest not waiting longer than 25 weeks before you notify management. With your team, you can wait however long you want. I told my manager at 18 weeks but waited another 3 before saying something to my team. But, it's really up to you and how long you feel comfortable waiting.
Don’t tell them shit .... there is no law you have to share that personal information. You can let them know that the day you start. None of their business and it may hurt your offer!!

Nope. It can't be a factor when hiring.
I would recommend staying at msft if you’re pregnant. They have great benefits for moms and dads
