Job interview

Okay I'll be 23 weeks Thursday and I have an interview next Tuesday at a Youth behavorial facility. The supervisor told me I would be working with the mentally challenged from ages 7-17. So I pretty much have it in the bag. But I'm worried he might change his mind when I get there because I'm pregnant or that I may accidently get hit In the tummy, as he said some of them can become aggressive. this job pays 11.00 opposed to my current which pays 8.35 don't pay me while on leave and I don't have to go back to until January. I feel so excited but torn at the same time. We definitely need the money, I already have a four year old as well.

My mom told me the same thing about keeping my distance when they begin to get out of hand. And if I need to ask for assistance and someone to be with me while I'm with them. She's been working in mental health since I was about five. I'm just really nervous because ive never done anything like this before.

I'm sure things will be ok. You probably won't be working alone right?
I've worked with a disabled young man and at times he can be quite aggressive but I just kept my distance during tantrums. I also went through a pregnancy with a toddler crawling all over me and kneeing me in the tummy. You tummy can take more than you think. But if any of the kids start becoming aggrevated or anything just make sure you keep your distance and you should be fine.
