I got a 1-year (initially) contract offer at Google with a team that seems pretty exciting. A new position, seems like a long-term need and important addition to the team. However, I'll be delivering about a month after my start date π¬ Is Google typically flexible with keeping a spot until I'm back? Can they end the contract while I'm on the leave? Does it even make sense to accept the offer? When to tell them?

Bring it up with the hiring manager.
Since contract roles need to fill immediate needs, they might end up retracting the offer or ending the contract early.
Best case scenario they might just keep you depending on how long you have to be out for postpartum.
If a temporary worker takes FMLA leave through the staffing agency, must the client employer accept the worker back when he or she returns from leave? The answer to that question is, maybe. Assuming the temporary worker meets the FMLAβs eligibility criteria, and assuming that both the staffing company and the client employer employ at least 50 employees as described above, both will have FMLA responsibilities toward temporary employees. The staffing agency, as the βprimaryβ employer, bears the main responsibility for both providing FMLA leave and restoring the employee to work upon the expiration of leave. As the βsecondaryβ employer, the client company holds a conditional responsibility only for accepting the returning employee if it continues to use an employee from that agency and if the agency chooses to return the employee to his or her assignment with the employer. The client, as the secondary employer, may not interfere with a temporary employeeβs attempt to exercise FMLA rights or discharge or discriminate against any workers for opposing practices prohibited by the FMLA.
They will cut you immediately if you say you are pregnant before they give an offer.
Sign with a company you want with the parental benefits that support you the most.
Then reveal you need a break for pregnancy.
