You could most likely get maternity leave, but probably not maternity pay. Some companies have trouble hiring pregnant women because they don't want to train you and then leave and not come back for any reason, it is a waste of their time and resources. If you begin interviewing, make sure you ask about their policy and tell them your plans for when the baby gets here, reassure them that you will be back in (such and such) time frame and what your daycare plans are... that way they know that you have everything set up and they can count on you.
