Legal Question in Family Law in California

Pregnancy and new job

I have a job starting in Sept 2007. (I am currently in training and was hired about 10 months before I was expected to start my new job). A month after I signed the contract, I found out I was pregnant. I due date is the same as my start date. Can this employer refuse to hire me now? Is it possible to ask my employer to extend my start date by 3 months? When should I tell my employer that I'm pregnant? Thank you.
