I recently had to leave my job and I’m struggling with the daunting task of job hunting, while 10 weeks pregnant!
My manager left and the company didn’t replace her, and after three months (esp once finding out I was pregnant) I couldn’t cope doing both jobs anymore so I quit. I’ve got a job interview in the morning and have had a couple of positive responses to applications but I find job hunting very difficult.
Has anyone else got experience job hunting while pregnant?

I haven't but I know for a fact you have no obligation to tell your new employer or at interview that your pregnant. In fact you don't have to let them know until you have 15 weeks before giving birth x

I had no luck once i was pregnant, you dont have to tell and its probably best not to, i did just because i end up having alot more appointments then most so i need the time off but once i told them i was x amount of weeks pregnant i could just see that they werent going to call me despite my experience so ive gone onto UC till after baby is born and then will go back to work lucky my husbands got a good job so UC just helps with a few bills

Currently job searching VERY slowly because I am too sick and tired to execute the job search I planned.

at 16 weeks I started working in a daycare and they were very understanding and I still didn’t tell them I was pregnant intill i was 30 weeks pregnant, but also I will admit it can be overwhelming working with kids all day and then going home and doing it again

I’m 17weeks and went to an interview today and tried to suck it in as much as I could 😅

My company is hiring !
We help families with their investments & insurance- we don’t require any experience either. Must be able to pass a background check.
Does that sound like something you’d be interested in learning more about?

Not while pregnant but did it during mat leave after redundancy and it sucks. You might already be but make sure you structure your day - like applications only in the morning then have your afternoons to relax and look after yourself, or just research. Have a look at Flexa, Escape the City, Otta (it’s called something else now, welcome to the jungle or something?), Motherboard Charter, Ad Lib Recruitment for jobs that celebrate and actively discuss flexibility - Seatfrog are also worth a look depending on what you do x
