I've been invited to an open interview for a waitressing job I applied for ages ago.
I'm still really interested in the position and want to go.
I emailed the lady explaining I'm 26 weeks pregnant and don't want to waste anyones time and she came back to me saying they will consider anyone who comes along and to please come along.

So has anyone been for an interview whilst pregnant? Did you get the job?

I'm a really good waitress and have excellent experience for this job but they say they've been inundated with applications so I just don't know if I'm wasting my time going. I could be the best person for the job and they'll just pick the second best person who happens to not be pregnant?

As they already know you are it's worth going along, you never know

Sounds positive to me!

I got a job whilst pregnant - even let them know beforehand as I didn't want it to be a surprise at the interview.

As you say interview experience is useful anyway - go for it :-)

good luck x
