Getting a job while pregnant

10 + 5 today 🎉. I left my job 2 months ago as they were making me work 14 hour shifts 7 days a week (while telling me I wasn’t putting in enough hours) I’m on the job hunt but I feel terrible to not mention that I’m in fact going to be going on mat leave later this year. I really need to job though as potentially a year of not earning is really going to be tough. Anyone else gone through this? Did you have any issue when you told your new employer that you were pregnant?

Hey, I’m in the same boat. Except my search is through being made redundant. It’s absolutely not easy (interviewing while sick/exhausted), and also feeling guilt over not telling the companies. At the end of the day, we wouldn’t be in this position by choice, and we’re not doing it deliberately to be misleading to companies. Here if you want to talk, feel free to PM me. Good luck!
