The last issue you want to worry about when pregnant is looking for work. Job hunting when pregnant? You probably have plenty on your plate just attempting to get through every day. It's tough.
But don't worry! I got some tips on how to find a job when you're expecting.
1. Talk to your doctor about your options for working while pregnant. They can help you figure out how much time off is safe for your baby and what type of work might be safe for you during that time period.
2. Do a little research on the business. Exists a maternity leave policy there? What kinds of support do they offer if something goes wrong? How many people work at the company overall? These are all things that might help narrow down your search if it seems like there's a lot of turnover in certain positions (or if it seems like there are no opportunities available).
3. Be realistic about what kind of jobs will be available when you're expecting (and when they'll be available after!). You don't want to apply for positions that are too far out of reach just because they sound fun or exciting.
