Any NHS staff changed jobs while pregnant?

[DaisyGH23]

Due to circumstances beyond my control I am likely to need to move out of my current area, however I have just found out I am pregnant, still very early.

Have any NHS staff (band 5) changed jobs while pregnant? If so what was it like? How were you received at the new job?

They can't discriminate against you if you were to apply for another job. If you're very early on you might consider not mentioning it at interview until you're 3 months along anyway as you could argue you didn't know/weren't sure.
As the NHS is a predominantly female workforce, staff going on maternity leave is a daily occurrence so they should factor that into their workforce planning.
The only thing I would check is how long you need to be in the job in order to qualify for maternity pay. Mine was 26weeks or something.
Oh - and congratulations!

We had a few new joiners who were pregnant and, honestly, it's not a big deal. However, you will not qualify for maternity pay.
