I would say something.
If he's interested in hiring you, you may have more room to negotiate now for time after the baby.
And it's an important part of building professional trust.
If he ends up rescinding the offer because of your pregnancy, you probably would be dodging a bullet.

I have two sisters who applied for jobs while pregnant.
One didn't mention it at the interveiw. Her new boss was rather irate when she sid mention it a few weeks into the new job. She's been there for ten years now, and it didn't make a difference in the long term, but the first few months were harder than necessary, and she had a slightly awkward reputation to overcome.
The other did mention it during the interview. On the spot during the interview they planned out a whole system for training her in and giving her basic experience before she gave birth, so that after her maternity leave she would be able to slot right into the job. They would be able to see where she would work best, and together they would be able to decide on her exact responsibilities. She has also been there long term, but had a much happier initial experience than my other sister, and has always felt more accepted in the company.
So my advice is yes, to say something.

You’re right you don’t legally have to tell. However, standard convention is to tell once you’ve gotten the formal offer, but before you’ve accepted. You should negotiate on details about your leave (as well as normal things like salary and other benefits) during that stage, since you probably won’t be automatically entitled to much.

I would add the fact though that you are intending to come back after 6 to 8 weeks or whatever No boss is going to want to train you for 4 months and then have you decide not to come back

Yes it does count.
Again disclaimer voice to text
My mom has a story that she was one time interviewing people and she needed a certain time commitment so she asked I need an 18 to 24 month commitment because of the nature of the job
there were two people one who my mom said was visibly pregnant was like yeah no problem not of them all and didn't say anything
The second person was not showing my mom did not figure out the truth pregnant until she said I want you to know that I just found out I'm expecting but I plan to come out back after my 6 weeks
The second person got the job because she was open and honest with my mom
