Working While Expecting.

My due date is july 31st. I waswondering would they still hire me to work there this summer.

At 7-9 months pregnant are you going to want to be on your feet for 4-6 hours at a time with no chance to sit?

Ummm well I worked last summer during my entire first trimester...it was rough. I cannot imagine working that late in pregnancy, I could barely get out of bed. They can't not hire you because of it, but it depends on what job you want.

Being pregnant and working at cedar point is actually really common. There are lots of jobs where all you do is sit around all day and thats where they put the pregnant girls I knew.

One of my staff was preggo and she was awesome. Yeah we let her rest (sit) and get a bite to eat a little more than most. But she earned that respect with her awesome attitude and great work ethic. Thus she was made supervisor quickly. She stayed working til month 8. And from what I hear has a great baby. I think the key is how you handle your bodies effects and try not to use them as an excuse every 2 seconds. That wont work.

People are right, they can't not hire you for that reason, nor can they ask. But during the interview, one of the questions involves being on your feet for 10-14 hours at a time, and or in extreme heat and if you can handle it. If you are hired and complain afterwards, they will have reason to dismiss you. Face it, the job does require it. Most of them.

I worked up until the day my water broke at 39 weeks and 2 days. Sometimes I didn't get much of a break and I would have to be on my feet for quite some time. By month 9 I could say I had "cankles". My third trimester was during the summer, and thankfully I had an air conditioned work place. Now I don't think it would be very easy to do a fast pased ride that requires a lot of bending, that seems almost impossible. Nothing is impossible, but close to it.

Correction.. I worked at a "hotel", not at CP while I was pregnant.

I worked at Gymboree during my pregnancy. I worked up until the day that I went into labor. But like you said, it was an air conditioned building.

I couldn't stand the heat walking through the parking lot. I don't think I would beable to make it 10+ hours in those extreme conditions. I would also think that might be a bit dangerous for you and the baby, standing or sitting in those high temps all day long.

Thanks to everyone who replied to this. Also would I be allowed to come back to work if I wanted to?

Probably, I suppose it depends on when you want to return. You probably won't want to for a few weeks. I'm 3 weeks post partum and I cannot imagine leaving to go to work or even school. Good luck, you are more brave than I am lol! Hopefully you work somewhere with A/C.
