I’ve been self employed/freelance since my first child was born but I need a more solid income to get on the property ladder. I’ve recently found out I’m pregnant and I’m roughly 7 weeks according to my LMP. I just applied for a job in a warehouse picking and packing orders with a scanner. I know that I will more than likely get the job due to it being a new warehouse (not open yet) and I have experience in work like that, just not in a warehouse. If I don’t get chosen for that job then I will get another one as they keep CVs on file and they have loads of work available with high staff turnover.
I was wondering if I need to tell them at my interview due to it being a warehouse and will me being pregnant affect my ability to work there? Or can I wait until I’m 15 weeks? There’s no heavy machinery as far as I’m aware. There might be forklifts but I’m quite sensible so will be on alert around them and obviously won’t be using one myself
