    Oh well all those who wouldn't consider employing a pregnant woman, hopefully she has a husband with a good income and/or some savings to fall back on, eh? Wouldn't want her struggling now would we?

    Ehmm. Sorry, but that is what people usually do... Prepare for pregnancy.
    It is quite a life changing situation, so people often plan for it.
    I know it is not always possible, but it is not impossible.
  • I did actually apply but declined the interview, mostly for the benefit of the employer/client. Despite being qualified with ample experience, I suspected the pregnancy would prevent me from being offered the role even if I was the best candidate.

    And yes, I am financially secure. I made sure of that before I got pregnant :)
    Sneaky, but very interesting tack to take! As someone who's been in a similar position, I wish you all of the best; it's been the most amazing experience of my life. :beer:
