job searching while pregnant

[xoeli7]

So I've been looking for a job since I've been about 16 weeks and I'm now 32 weeks. I've gone to 6 interviews with different companies and the interviews would go perfectly, until they notice my stomach. I don't really want to work but I feel like I have no choice since my husband and I are gong through a divorce and I'm going to be raising my daughter by myself. Anyone else having trouble finding work? I understand they don't want to hire me because I'll just go on maternity leave after, its just exhausting

I wore the biggest sresst shirt I have and nobody could tell I'm pregnant from sitting in front of me but from the side, its extremely noticeable. All the interviewers couldn't tell until I got up and walked away, most of them starred blankly at my belly lol

I agree, I was also looking for work, but they don't want to hire people that is pregnant unfortunately.
Sorry about the divorce, and good luck. Just stay positive!

I ve been looking for work too but ve been unable to get immediately dey notice am pregnant, i guess it's more difficult for us Bcos of d maternity leave u go on just few months of being hired

I agree it is more difficult in most cases.  When a non pregnant woman comes in for a job with no constraints or special considerations and a pregnant woman comes in with circumstances that cost an employer money, they are going to hire the non pregnant person.  That is just reality.  And it is hard.  I would take this time to perhaps take a class that will help you find work right away when your baby is 6 weeks or so ---  then you will be able to get a job easier.  good luck hon

Oh, and yes, definitely sorry about the divorce.  Rough timing for that!

[Lovingbaby1115]

That's not true why would you say that nobody will hire pregnant women? Alot of pregnant women can find employment and have a job.

Yes, i am and it *****. Unfortunately, no one will hire pregnant women. Reason being, is because we'd be there for a few months then will have to leave to give birth. I was told that you'd have to be working a workplace for atleast a year before you qualify for maternity leave! It's bullsh*it but it's how life is. I'm sorry to hear about your divorce, i hope you'll be ok. You can do it, be strong!!
