Jobs?

[Mollie2019x]

I have just found out am pregnant and I do not work. I am currently on universal credit and I've got to be looking for jobs. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful so far and just wondering if i mentioned to them that I am pregnant would i still have to look for work?

Nothing like ask but pregnancy it's not a decease and you are pregnant for almost 10 months, if you are still in the very beginning they will probably tell you to keep searching.. and since you don't have to say nothing to your employer until you are 20w, still plenty of time to work...

His happened to me with my first 15 years ago but not sure if it’s changed I still had to look and luckily I found a job washing hair in a hair dressers but that didn’t last long as I was 7 month by then 😂 they tried getting me a job stacking shelf’s which to me was daft but unfortunately they made sure I went every fortnight to show my job searches could of changed now. Good luck another thing how far are you ?

Don’t panick Hun unfortunately they’ll see it as your still fit for work 😏 obviously not working in places were baby can come to harm. Best bet is to tell them on your next appointment then go from there x

Still look for work as you are in the early stages and work whilst you can as it can be tiring when your bump gets bigger. I was in the same boat as you. I was looking for permanent work then found out I was pregnant. I did agency temp work throughout my pregnancy to get the money coming in. Best thing to do is to sign up with a few agencies, try and secure something like a 6 month contract. You could try and look for permanent work. It is up to you whether you want to tell them you are pregnant or not. You don’t have to until 15th week before baby is due x
