How to tell potentially new employer I’m 7 months pregnant?

Hey guys.. I was recently offered a job working in the same industry. I’m an expert in this role and could genuinely help the company. The whole role is remote, contract.. and I wasn’t up front about being pregnant during the first interview because I wasn’t even sure the job would be a fit and also legally I’m supposedly not obligated to. Well they’ve just offered me the job almost on the spot after interview #1 and they want me to fly up and meet their team but the truth is I’m 7 months pregnant. I’m planning to take only a 2 week maternity leave and I do have subcontractors who can help fulfill some of the work while I’m out.. but something tells me as soon as I disclose this that the employer will get so freaked out. How do I go about this? They also want to do a virtual meeting with the whole team and I’m like should I pull the person who offered me the job aside and tell them before that meeting? Or go through with the meeting? And tell him after? Help !

You have to tell them immediately. If you choose not to tell them and then they found out after it makes you seem dishonest and it will affect you moving forward. I also would not fly no matter what the doctor said. Its still a risk.
