Looking for work whilst pregnant

I am 13 weeks pregnant and have applied for a job part time as a youth worker. I have to keep looking or I won't be able to get job seekers allowance. Can any one tell me where i stand on being pregnant and applying for jobs I was told up until 11 weeks before baby due to keep searching. I take it they are not allowed to ask at interviews although a medical is required i think after being offered a job. HOw soon do I tell them if offered the job. Any advice would be grateful. Many thanks

Im not sure to be honest, and im pretty much in the same boat, im 23 +4 pregnanty and was made redundant at christmas. By law u cant be penalised for being pregnant, unfortunatly i know noone will take me on as my line of work is high risk (i was home manager of a childrens residential home).
I still look as u never know, but i am being up front with them and telling them im pregnant.... so far i can have some hours every week doing admin, so that is something but that is only as and when.
Good luck in ur search tho x
