Okay, so there is this place that i have really wanted to work at since i graduated school. We took a tour through there about a year ago, and i was very impressed. Wouldnt ya know it that yesterday i saw that there was an opening posted for MY position!! the pregnancy has been going very well and i dont see any bedrest in the future, but what are the chances they would even give me the time of day after laying eyes on my pregnant belly!!

So...what should i do? Go ahead and apply, or keep my eyes open for another position in the future?

 

That is a hard decision... wow... I would apply... just to see what happens.

Keep us updated!!

 

I would apply...they can't discriminate against you solely due to you being pregnant. And think of it this way, let's say they call you in for an interview but decide that it's not the right time. They could always call you back in the future in case things don't work out w/ the new hire. Plus they'd know that you are interested. Don't let being pregnant hold you back, I'm sure your babies would want nothing but the best for you! However, you might want to be concerned with Insurance or leave issues. Some companies don't allow disability unless you've been there for a year. I dealt w/ that in my first pregnancy. Good Luck!

 

I am in a very similar psition and I am defintiely gonna apply just to see what happens cuz i really need it and the work schedule would work out so good with me and the twins. Go for it!

Perfectly stated......put your name in the hat.

 

Definitely apply for the position. I started a new job a few weeks ago and was really worried about how people would perceive me since I am totally huge and pregnant and surprisingly it doesn't seem to be an issue at all.

 

wow! thanks for all the support. i am going to go for it, i might not get it, but im gonna try!!

 

This same thing honestly happened to me. I went for an interview before i even knew that i was pregnant. Then around 16 weeks.. i went for a 2nt interview.. i was still "Hiding" the fact that i was pregnant.. Then around 18 weeks (when we found out there were 2) They called and basically offered me the job. I told them that i just found out that i was pregnant with twins (I didnt want to lie)... And guess what.. they never called me back.. I was so sad.. Dream JOb!!! My exact job that i was waiting for.. Oh well..

 

I say go for it! You have absolutely nothing to lose!
