Need advice on how to preemptively turn down a job offer and ask about other positions

I’m a full time employee at a state agency. Due to COVID, there are a number of project positions for a brand new program in my agency being hired right now. They already went through a first round of hiring and still need to hire about half the people they want. I am extremely interested in moving into the field that they’re hiring for. I don’t have direct experience in it, but enough in an allied field to qualify. I would absolutely love to have a career in this new field, and a project position would be amazing experience to add to my resume and be able to do so. I’m also getting a bit unhappy in my current position, which is another motivating factor.

I applied to the listing advertising 2-year project positions and was contacted for an interview on Tuesday and interviewed on Wednesday. At the end of the interview, I was told I was interviewing for a 1-year project job.

I’m not sure how the interview went because I’m very self critical. Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but if they do offer me the job I think I no longer want it purely due to its duration. I would already be taking a huge risk leaving my permanent position for a 2-year project, but having it only be 1 year sounds insane. There’s also the complicating factor that I’m trying to get pregnant. Taking a 4-month maternity leave during a 2-year position sounds okay; but if it’s just a year starting now then I could give birth 9/10/11 months in, take some maternity leave, then my position would end while I’m on leave, and I’d be out of a job/no paid leave. I’m worried that because I applied after the first round of hiring, they may have run out of 2-year positions.

Should I wait and see if they offer me the job, turn it down, and ask about 2-year positions? Or should I preemptively turn it down and ask about 2-year positions?
