pregnancy and working

[Shehla]

im 4 weeks pregnant and i am starting my new job tomorrow in a clothing store in the stock room the shift is for 11:15 to 8:15 and all work is on foot and steady all day would it be risky for early pregnancy can anybody pleaee advice me

To be honest it’s not something I would personally risk as you and your baby are more important and if you are doing a lot of manual handling I would probably tell my employer as I was advised not to do any heavy lifting by my IVF clinic and by the midwives. I told my employer I was pregnant very early on as my job is considered high risk. I understand the timing isn’t ideal but you won’t be the first person this has happened to and they can’t discriminate against pregnant women. Can u do another role perhaps on the shop floor? Maybe seek some advice from a union and from your midwife.

Good luck! X
