I just got hired for a job and didn't tell them I was pregnant, what can I do?

It would be better for you to tell them now. They may fire you it's true but by law they are not allowed to discriminate against a woman because she's pregnant. However if they find out by seeing you get big they may fire you anyways and make up some other reason.

So if you tell them now and you get fired it will be discrimination and you will know why they fired you and you can fight it and win. You could sue them, not that I advise doing that. I think way to many people sue for things these days.

However if they do try to fire you tell them that's discrimination and you are not required by law or by any other standards (in case they try to guilt you) to tell them that you are pregnant when they hired you. Don't you want a job where people respect your right to have a job and have kids too? You should tell them as soon as you can.

Make yourself sound good too by saying " I am really dedicated to this job and I love working here ( or looking forward to working here) but I feel that a good relationship is built on honesty and trust so I am entrusting you with the information that I am pregnant." Tell only your boss or HR and Boss to start and ask them to respect your right to tell people on your own terms. Then let them know that you plan to come back as soon as your Mat.

Leave ends. The may appreciate your openness with them. Plus if they really wanted you they will get a temp for the couple of months that you are gone.

If they fire you after you tell them immediately remind them of the law and that you can't fire people because they are pregnant. If you feel it won't go well take a recording device so that if they do fire you after you tell them you are pregnant that you have proof they did it. Stand strong but do not wait.

As I told you, if you wait till you start showing and they notice on their own they may just call you into their office one day and say that they are letting you go because you are not meeting their standards. You won't be able to prove you lost your job because you are pregnant and therefore won't be able to get it back. Who knows maybe they will just congratulate you and it'll be no big deal at all.

If it had been me I would have told them in the interview. I just think it's best to start your job with complete honesty. If they are not ok with a pregnant woman working for them it hardly seems fair to trick them into it.

Jasmine I was in the exact same situation as you when I was 4 months pregnant. I went for an interview and I got the job, once I got the job I told them I was pregnant as I didn't (like you) like lying. They made up some crap about how they didn't think it was safe in my condition to work there, so they told me that they couldn't let me continue working for them.

I was there 2days! By law they can't actually get away with that, I chose not to take it further because I just didn't want the hassle nor stress tbh, but if I can offer you any advice it would be to NOT tell them untill you REALLY start showing. Then tell them you had no idea you was that far along, and just go from there.

I wanted to work too, I needed to! But i'm 6 months now and nobody wants to hire me so my family and babys father are supporting me for now. I hope it all works out for you, if it dosen't you still have your baby to think about :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
