I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I suffer from headaches and nausea everyday and just found out that I've been shortlisted for a job interview next week...which is great, but I dont know if I should or can attend...

The job is office based, community developing projects covering for someone's maternity leave for 6 months. I initially thought it'll suit me fine but I'm beginning to think this is a daft idea as this is my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect and putting myself in a new work environment with new boss, people etc may put extra stress on me.

My hubby works and he's fine with me not working for a while, or work as a freelance like I do now. So financially we're fine, but I enjoy working and would like to work...

What do you think I should do? Is it not worth going for a new job for 6 months right upto my due date?? Would it be too stressful for a first time pregnant woman??

I worked until 8 months and I didn't have a problem. I think you need to be careful not to be on your feet all day but if you don't have other health issues, why not?

If you think you'll enjoy it, go for it.
