Does this mean that I am going to get huge??

Question

I'm twelve weeks pregnant with my first baby and I'm already starting to show. People have already been noticing my pregnancy. Also I've been told that being pregnant makes it harder for one to get a job, is this true??

Answer 1

not necessarily. I have been showing since 9 weeks and it has kind of halted for the past couple of weeks. I am 14 weeks along. The baby is super healthy. It just depends on your body type.
You do not have to disclose that you are pregnant when applying and interviewing for jobs. It is illegal for the employer to ask and illegal for them to not hire you for that reason.

Answer 2

this doesnt mean you are going to be huge but it just depends on how the baby grows so dont eat a bunch of sugar stuff. As far as a job yes it does make it harder to get one and its harder the further along you get so if you need a job wear looser clothing that still looks professional and go out and do it then after hiring or when you start to show more then talk to them because they may find a reason to let you go, at my job we hired a girl that was pregnant 5 months and she ended up getting fred a month later because she was always leaving early because she would get sick or didnt feel good and it was an accountability issue for calling in missing shifts because she felt crappy so if you feel fine then dont waste anytime getting one or you will never have one until after the baby

Answer 3

If you are skinny twig skinny, you will show more so than other people might. Yet, don't worry - it doesn't mean you are getting huge. Your uterus is pushing and stretching to make room for the baby as it grows - you will seem a bit more bloated and look like you gained weight from this. I looked like I gained weight and then about two weeks before the beginning of my third trimester - I was bigger. Yet, I hid well in my clothing.

As for the jobs, it might be a tad difficult - and yes, it is illegal for them not to hire you or inquire on your pregnancy. Yet, if you file against them they would say it outwardly. They will use "not qualified enough" or "found another person" - they never point out your pregnancy. This doesn't mean don't try to get a job. People are more liberal and easy going than before - though I'm sure you will not be covered by their insurance since it's a pre-existing condition.

Answer 4

When I was pregnant with my first my hubby and I had to move to a different state for his job and I found myself about 5 month pregnant looking for a job. It was very difficult. Although nobody said that was the reason, I am sure thats why I was turned down for alot of positions I applied for. But I did finially get a job as a CA(chiropractic assistant) and they didnt mind that I was pregnant. I worded there until I was 38 weeks pregnant, then ended up not going back, because I loved being home with my son so much. Two months later, we ended up moving back to Pennsylvania to be with family anyways.
As for your first question, everybody is different. It could be possible to show, but most don't until 4-5 months. But it is possible if you were very thin to start with. I know I was so excited when I started to show with my boys. Good luck to you and congrats on your baby.

Answer 5

yes you will probably be big. I didnt show till i was 25 weeks and im now 35 weeks and still very small

As for the job.....Good luck with that. Not very many ppl want to hire someone who will only be with them for 4 months.
Temporary jobs would be your best bet. And even at that if you do find a job dont plan on maturnity leave or pay. You have to be with most companies a year before those are given

Answer 6

No, it does not mean that you will be huge. I showed early with all 4 of my pregnancies and I only gained 15 lbs. during 3 of them. Some women show earlier than others. Regarding a job, it is discrimination not to hire a qualified pregnant woman, but as you know, employers can say anything as to why they didn't hire one. If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you can fight it, but it would be very hard to prove.

Answer 7

Your belly will get big. As long as you dont over eat (a lot of women say they are eating for two, that doesnt mean you have to eat more). Stay in shape and continue to eat a healthy diet and exercise and you shouldnt gain too much weight or get too big.

And yes, its true, pregnant women do have trouble finding a job because honestly, who wants to hire a pregnant women.
-More risk of losing the baby and possible sue
-Knowing that they are leaving in nine months would be a waste of training.

Answer 8

I started showing a little bit at twelve weeks. I didnt get really big until my fourth or fifth month. It all seemed to happen overnight. I was a little bit fat one day and them bam! I had a big, obviously pregnant belly. It might be hard to find a full-time job if you have a child but it's easy to find a part-time job that will suit your needs.

Answer 9

well darling pregnancey affect us woman in all different ways and if you are a first time mother its ok to show theres nothing more than enjoying your pregnancey and if were told that you cant get a job when you are pregnant its rubbish ibecause i have been off work for the last 5 years and i managed to get a job even though am pregnant and my work was totaly supportive and they are looking forward of meeting my new baby and for me to go back to work after i have the baby dont give up enjoy your pregnancy and start looking forward to your new baby.

Answer 10

I'm only 7 weeks 3 days and I'm showing so yeah, we're both prolly gonna get pretty big. As for the job thing, I believe it would be harder but I dont know for certain because my Dr advised me not to get a job bcuz I'm "At Risk".
