People might not want to hire you because they know that you will be leaving their company in just a little while. And then after you give birth, you will need to spend time with your newborn and employers HAVE to give you time off for that too. So really, right now isn't a good time to go looking. If I were you, I would start a business at home. Good luck.

You are not going to be able to find work in the condition that you are in. An employer will not hire someone that is ready to have a baby. Its not discrimination, its the fact that they dont want to invest the time and energy on training someone who is not going to be there in a few months. Not worth it for the employer. I think that you should have thought about your financial situation before you got pregnant. A 25 cent condom seems pretty cheap right now huh??!! There is nothing that anyone can do for you at the moment, you might want to try talking to the HHS in your area to see what they suggest.

I had my daughter when I was 17, and I know your struggle. Unfortunatly, mothers of any age are discriminated against, you have to think about it from the employers aspect, you're going to have your kid, so you won't be able to come into work. It will get sick, so you'll have to call out at the last min. Ect. ect.Sweetie,I don't know how old you are, but I can tell you first hand, if you're a pregnant teen, you don't need to focus on a job, you need to focus on school, and getting your education. I don't know if you're in high school or not, but if you haven't graduated, PLEASE go back and do it, because yuou dont know how much you'll regret not having it. Your baby will be so proud of you if you can go back and finish school and then worry a bout getting a job. Do you live with your parents or a lone? Anyone who could help you out for the next little wihle so you can get your HSD?Good luck honey, you have a hard road ahead of you, but trust me , it will be mo re than worth it!

You may want to try telemarketing or some type of similiar phone work. The turn over rate for those places are usually pretty high, so they are always looking for new employees to replenish their workforce. This is usually a great summer job for teens and that it is what they primarily hire, not the best of jobs but its something if you need money. You will not be on your feet all day either.

If you have a computer....which it seems that you do, why not sell things on EBAY? Maybe go into it with someone else, like your Mom for help and it can also help you get rid of junk. That way you can stay at home and take care of yourself and the baby! I've heard of several people working from home, actually making a living by doing this alone!

Pretty obvious even though they can not say so, but they know you will missing alot of work shortley and taking materninty time off. You may have to wait until your child is born then restart the job hunt.

Congrats on the baby. My mom had me as a teenager, gave up her college scholarship to have me and i applaud you for going through with the pregnancy because I know that it can't be easy. My advice for you is to lean on your family for a while for support and then after the baby is born look for a job, maybe even waitressing at like an Applebee's or a Red Lobster, i hear that those girls make quite a bit of money in one night of serving. With waitressing mayne your family or the father of the baby can watch the child and that way you are with the child during the day, you don't have to pay for daycare. Good Luck!Also look into welfare because you aren't goign to be able to work right away.
