18weeks pregnant and looking for a job before the baby is born should i wait to get a job after the baby is?

Question

born or should i just get one right now .

Answer 1

no, u should stay home and raise your child. don't dump your kid at daycare or have him baby sat.
don't miss his first steps and his first everything
too many women give birth and then hurry back to their jobs. which is more important?
or maybe i'm crazy but I was raised by a stay at home mom and i would not change that.

proud stay-at-home mommy of a 5 year old and a 5 month old.

ps...they can replace you at your job is exactly 3.3 days, but no one can replace mommy at home!!!!!

Answer 2

Well - being a previous restaurant manager, I can tell you that it is quite hard for some employers to hire pregnant women because some days they might not feel well, and they are on lift restrictions, and if you fall you risk hurting the baby, etc . I honestly think it is unfair, and that is why when pregnant ladies came to me looking for the job, I would hire them and give them very light duties and work them on a part time schedule and watch out for them. I did not want discrimination slapped against me, and pregnant women have a right to work also, and they need the money for the baby. So I always gave them a chance.

But you could try working as a waitress part time or doing something that is considered light duty so you can get some money.

Good luck to you.

Answer 3

If you will need some income, I say hurry up and get a job now. Once employers can figure out that you are pregnant, they will not want to hire you. Get a job now and keep it for as long as you can and then take as much time off as you need and you'll the income to help in supporting you and baby! If you can afford to not work now, then just enjoy being pregnant and enjoy even more when the baby arrives!

except you individually be responsive to an corporation no-one would be keen to handle a heavily pregnant lady fairly. additionally you would be unsleeping a minimum of a pair of times a night with a small infant or maybe some larger infants. My son did no longer sleep by way of oftentimes until he became approximately 3 years previous!! you would be fairly drained on the start exceptionally while you're drained until now the child even gets right here, except of direction you have an particularly supportive better half who will upward thrust up interior the night or an extremely uncomplicated infant. sturdy success looking or no longer whichever you opt for . And maximum suitable needs

Answer 5

Now is not a very good time to get a job, although you might try going through a temporary agency and see what they can find you for awhile. I don't know of many employers who would hire someone who is that far along in their pregnancy as it takes time and money to train someone for a position and then you would be taking off for maternity leave and then they would have to train someone else to do your job while you're gone and the retrain you for the position when you got back, unless they "lay you off" because they've already trained someone new.

Answer 6

personally i think it's best to wait until you have had your baby til you get a job and even though your probally a bit bored at home, its best to rest when your pregnant and trust me get as much rest as possible as when you have your bubs you will be flat off your feet. I had my baby 3 months ago and am not planning on gpoing back to work til my baby is 1 year old. It's alot harder than you would expect, plus you have to think, who would employ you while you are pregnant? You must think about the safety of your baby

Answer 7

Depends on you and nature of job.You may continue to work and keep taking advise of doctor on do and dont do and follow.After the baby is born take minimum full month rest.Then two months light job and then you are almost fully ready for hard ship.

Answer 8

You must look for something now already. Do you have any idea how mush baby stuff costs? Lotsa money. Do waitressing job for now untill you are to big to work. Waitressing is temp anyway so you can leave once you get to big to work. No big companies will employ someone if they are pregnant. I started working for a company 3 months ago and found out thursday that I am 5/6 weeks pregnant. So now I can work till my nine months is almost finished and I'll have something go back to. Congrats & all the best of luck.

Answer 9

i am also pregnant and i work baby's are very expensive so make money while you can cause when you get farther your not going to feel like doing anything and plus if you work now and save money you can spend more time with you baby without having to stressing about money good luck and congratulations

Answer 10

if you need income then get one now but look for jobs that arent that stressful ie fast food too much stress for a baby... try a sit down job ie secretary.
