I don't know what to do! Looking for Job while Pregnant???

[cocacolapanda]

So, Here's the basic situation.  I work full time and my husband is a stay at home dad, I can get a job making more since I have a degree in IT and Mathematics and he's still working on his.  We have a 22 month old and I'm 9 weeks pregnant, and find myself possible needing to look for another Job.  I could keep my current job, but I'd have to move, and I'm not sure it would work for us at the moment.

There's a SMALL chance I could hang in till after I have the baby (but not sure yet).  So I'm wondering if I should start looking now?  Have any of you looked for a job while pregnant?  Did you have any issues telling your boss once hired?  Did you find it caused you to not get a job you should have gotten otherwise?

Please, anyone who has either looked for a job while pregnant or got hired I'd love some advice!

Thank you both for your responses, it does give me some hope!  I'm just trying to figure out what would be best for the family, It's just such a bombshell!  I am a little concerned about the maternity leave, with this company I'm currently with it's great, and we need something while on leave since DH isn't working.  This place it started right away, but the last place I worked you needed to be working there for 12 months to get it.

I would just keep in mind the maternity policy of the company that you choose to work for.  Do you get maternity leave after 6 months? 9 months?

I started a new position right when I found out about my first baby--the company was supportive and it turned out to be a positive experience.  I am no longer working, but am considering returning to work (my husband is in school as well and we could use the money) and am nearly 9 weeks pregnant.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us!

i did! i found out i was pregnant and got called for an interview the next day. i was 5 weeks when i interviewed, 7 weeks when i accepted the job and 9 weeks i accepted the position. i told them when i was 13 or 14 weeks.
you are not obligated to tell them you are pregnant. in this economy, i would take any opportunities that come your way.
