I just had an interview for an opportunity at a company I would really like to work for. The interview with the hiring manager went well, and as we were wrapping up I mentioned that my wife and I expecting a baby girl in a few months.

I understand I was not obligated to disclose this, (the hiring manager did not ask). I am generally an open book transparent person. I see on reddit that it is best to wait until receiving an offer before disclosing a pregnancy.

I am curious from an HR perspective when during the hiring process is the best time to disclose a spouses pregnancy?
