Why can't you get a job? It is ILLEGAL to not hire someone because they are pregnant.
Don't make excuses - get out there and get your life in order while you still have time before the baby comes.

Why can't you get a job? If you just found out you are pregnant, then you probably aren't showing, right? Make sure you wear clothes to the interview that don't make you look pregnant. And just DON'T TELL any prospective employers you are pregnant. It's none of their business anyway, and its against the law for someone not to hire you because of your pregnancy.
It will probably be easiest for you to get a job that is similar to other jobs you've done in the past. What did you do for money BEFORE you got pregnant? Do you have anyone who could serve as your reference?
good luck!

If you JUST found out that you're pregnant, you should be able to find a job. You do not have to disclose your pregnancy status to any employer while applying for a job. Granted, it may not be the most honest way to find a job, but you can always be hired and inform your boss later on - you won't start to show for a while yet. Keep in mind, though, that if you're seeking insurance benefits, most won't kick in until 90 days past your hire date, and some will exclude your pregnancy as a pre-existing condition.
If you are not ABLE to work, contact your area Social Services department; they will be able to provide you information about programs that can help you during your pregnancy and beyond.
Best of luck to you!

No employer can discriminate against you for being pregnant. You might not get the specific job you want, but money is money, go to walmart, for the time being, look at it as it's only temporary anyway, you'll be off a while with the baby. Good luck!

You just found out you are pregnant so its not like you are showing yet. Get a job and in 2-3 months tell your boss you are pregnant.

Just get a job. And wait three+ months before telling them. Almost every job has a three month grace period. Where they say that you're on probation. Meaning, they can fire you for anything and not HAVE to give a reason. Make sure that you've been at that job for at least three months if/when they find out. If they fire you, sue them for discrimination.

i agree with most of these answers. i'm 8 weeks pregnant and looking for a job. i haven't told a single potential employer that i'm pregnant. i don't feel that it's important at this time. it's not legal for a potential employer to deny you a chance at a job just because you're pregnant.... unless the job is unsafe for the unborn baby.

rUN A DAYCARE AT HOME! I KEPT JUST TWO KIDS DURING MY FIRST PREGNANCY AND RIGHT AFTER I HAD MY FIRST AND MADE 250 CLEAR A WEEK STAYING HOME! GOOD LUCK! aDVERTISE IN THE PAPER! ALOT OF WOMAN WOULD RATHER LEAVE THEIR BABY WITH A STAY AT HOME MOTHER THAN A DAYCARE! THEN AFTER THE BABY, YOU COULD DO SOMETHING ELSE IF NEEDED TOO! I HAD WEEKENDS OFF TOO! MEDICAID COULD PAY TO HAVE THE BABY IF YOU HAVE NO INSURANCE! MOST INSURANCES DO NOT PICK UP AFTER PREGNANT AT A JOB ANYWAY!

Why can't you get a job? You don't need to disclose to potential employers that you are pregnant. Fill them in later, when you start to show. Good luck!
