Better to move to a job in a cleaner environment before trying to get pregnant. Of course, you wouldn't be able to claim JSA then, would you?0

But who is going to employ someone who is about to get pregnant or someone who is already pregnant?0

You can claim JSA up to the 29th week of pregnancy provided that you can demonstrate that you are actively seeking work, able to work and willing to work.
But who is going to employ someone who is about to get pregnant or someone who is already pregnant?
That's not the point. The point is, you have to demonstrate that you are satisfying the JSA rules in order to claim the benefit.
If an employer uses your pregnancy as a reason not to employ you and says this, you could argue discrimination.0
