FWIW, I gave my dissertation talk at the winter AAS meeting 7 months pregnant. I interviewed for postdocs while 8 months pregnant. I still managed to get hired at the place I interviewed at. Then again, there were already two women (faculty) in that department who had recently had children, so there wasn't too much danger of looking bad.
Also commiserating with you on job hunting. Not so much commiserating on weight gain. I gained 35-40 pounds with both my pregnancies and was roundly chastised for it.
