Working

Hi I'm 8 weeks pregnant and unemployed is it okay for me to start to work. I don't really think it would make a difference but I just wanted some opinions.

You can work BUT there are some tasks you should be weary of  if you are pregnant - no heavy lifting, long exposure to certain chemicals etc.  What job are you looking at starting?

[JoyRenee]

You can work.

i had a job interview lined up, and the day before the interview I found out I was pregnant. I went anyways, got the job, started a month later, and feel it was the best decision I ever made. My new job was sooo much more compatible with being a mommy and it paid better.
You do NOT have to tell perspective employers that you are pregnant. It will probably benefit you to save up some money while pregnant. Who knows.. you may even find a job you love and want to continue once the baby is born. I had rough pregnancies- lots of morning sickness and such. My days at work went by so much faster and were actually easier than when i was home for the weekend, and on breaks. When I was home, I sat around and felt sick and miserable. At work, I had to keep going and coped much better.

ABSOLUTELY!  I'm almost 36w and I will be working up to due date.  Unless if you have complications and a doctor tells you not to...work is perfectly fine!

You can work as long as you haven't been told other wise by your doctor.
