Job start date and pregnancy due date super close

I have just been offered a dream academic faculty position starting Jan 2nd and my due date is Jan 15th. I will have teaching, mentoring, and research duties. They do not know I am pregnant. I desperately want to keep this position but do not know how to go about disclosing my pregnancy and ensuring my rights. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Sign your contract first if you haven't yet. This happens, and you are not legally required to disclose being pregnant before signing. However your colleagues will appreciate it if you can provide warning about being out on leave or reduced teaching load, as they will need to find a replacement for your section (same thing goes with sabbatical or health issues).
