I hate the way the world works...

How come when you're pregnant you need a job most yet nobody wants to hire you because you're pregnant!? Ugh I'm getting frustrated as my due date gets closer and closer and I realize how much stuff I still need but can't afford. I was so sick when I got pregnant I couldn't work and had to quit and I chose not to go back (there was a lot of illegal things going on there) and I've applied to a lot of jobs and had good interviews but nobody will hire me because I'm pregnant. I also got screwed on my taxes because of the stuff going on at my last job so I can't use my tax money for baby stuff... =/ I'm just getting so stressed and I know its not good for my baby

I talked with my boyfriend last night and we're both feeling a little better... we're having our baby shower soon and we both have huge families! My boyfriends dad has 5 brothers 3 sisters and my mom has 7 sisters and 2 brothers... and almost all of them have had kids so they know what to get us. Plus 2 of my good friends had babies last year (both had boys) so they said they will give us their old stuff.. I just stress when I think about it but I have a lot of support. I just hope after the baby arrives I can find a job!

They won't hire you if you say your pregnant, though it's illegal they just won't. I'd say try to wear clothes that show your tummy the least and say nothing about being pregnant. They usually won't ask, especially if they can barely tell. That's the only way to raise your chances

I'm 6 months pregnant so I'm not sure there's much hiding my belly these days =/ I feel like I would have a hard time not telling them because then I feel like I'm lying.

You legally don't need to tell them you're pregnant, if you can hide your belly do it
