NEW JOB

I start my job Monday and I'm kinda scared... I wanna work but I'm scared once I start then all my contractions and stuff will come back this time they didn't give me anything for the contraction nd im scared once they see so much complications they have to let me go and im scared to get contraction at work cause it'll stop me from everything i wouldn't barely move or speak

Because you are obviously preg i would just mention it. Don't let tho much time go by n mention it like your confiding in them.. like "yea its hard work expecting a child some days it hurts but i have to provide for my baby." I think they will understand that way u are sliding in ur concerns but still making it seem like ur job is important to you.

Yea i have two jobs the other is another one with kids but i work as a hair braider for a vendor. Very light schedule seeing that i have a full time job. I only work Saturdays and holiday season. I knew
i was about three months preg when hired after three weeks of working for her i told her. But i made it seem like i just found out. Like i knew for a week/two weeks and just was worried about telling her. If you have a female manger i think they are more understanding. At the school board I'm a aide for special needs kids and many of my supervisors are women. But it was the one male that said "we dont want to hear that you can't do your job because you are worried about your pregnancy" he wasnt harsh. But he was blunt. A female supervisor said they will take care of me but she made it clear that i won't be on light duty unless it's doctor order. I work w. Kids that can run out of the classroom. None hit too hard or agressively they are low functioning but they can kick and i told them in my second month going into third one by one that i didnt want to risk my baby n i was concerned.. they understood but im sure they thought i was trying to get out of work. Which is slightly true i was trying to get an easier position w. Higher level and used my pregnancy as a reason that i should get the position. They modified my job slightly but did not move me. Then made it clear that i was limited to conplaints. Play it safe.

I say w. Ur new job u could do it as i did w. My part-time. Since ur not showing act like the news is recent. Because im sure they dont want to  feel decieved. But what u are doing is not new you know many women have gotten jobs while preggers w.o. mentioning it so dont stress it or feel too much guilt. Do what u have to do.

Just be like i forgot to mention in my job interview that i am pregnant but just because im pregnant doesnt mean i will be less capable of doing my job as i would do it if i wasnt pregnant. Make them feel as if you are completely capable of doing everything they ask of you to do as you would if you werent pregnant.

Although it is unethically done a job can not get rid of u because u are preg. I really doubt that Walgreens so well known & respected will ever do that.

Older woman have said to work until due date for most it brings the baby sooner naturally. So theres a plus in working.

I work for the schoolboard n i dnt get paid maternity leave -_- ... n its know u.s. isnt known for givn maternity allowance. Although some jobs like mine can set up ur pay check where a portion is taken out, so that u can b given money while on maternity leave. U can look into that

I work as a pharmacy tech and I have drug addicts scream at me all day. Stress is a choice. My patients dont and never will bother me, I'm just doing my job as are you. Dont worry about it. But you do need to tell them you are pregnant immediately.  They will be pissed the longer you wait.

I didnt advice them im pregnant and i don't want them saying there be the reason why im stressing cause call center jobs are stressful and from what i found out stress can cause my son heart rate to dip as well i need the money but im afraid to lose my son

I worked until i was 37 weeks standing on my feet but i would only for 4-5 hours per day towards 30 weeks I got contractions during work but i just tried to keep my actions from them to a minimum so no one knew because i needed the money and couldnt afford to loose my job.

I'm 36 weeks and I work in a warehouse stocking I'm sure working in a call center is ok and they can't discriminate they probably just won't pay you for maternity leave
