Crawl back under your pre-historic rock and get a life with the worms...who, by the way are a more intelligent life form than you!!

Answer 1

Keep searching for a job. You are not allowed to be excluded from work just because you are pregnant. I would recommend you call the CAB (citizens advice bureau) also. And congratulations.

Answer 2

I think that the only people who will tell you exactly what you need are the advisors at the job centre, so ask for an appointment, or tell them when you next sign on that you need advice.

I got told when I was pregnant that it is not a reason to not be working, even though my pregnancy had me passing out all the time- I would have been the HR's nightmare- I really would have been a liability had I continued to work...although I did try, it was too much for me (I left work at 10 weeks pregnant).

If you find your pregnancy leaves you in a bad way, get a doctors note which will excuse you from looking for jobs for a while...your midwife will also be a wealth of information though, so ask for her advice at your next check up.

Good luck though, and congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!

Basically yeah but (not to be rude) no one is realisticly going to employ you whilst ur pregnant. 11 weeks before ur due you can apply for income support & milk tokens to get free baby milk from the clinic. Just tread water until then
