Pregnant and been made redundant

[Hark133]

Looking for some advice -

I recently been advised I’m been made redundant and found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant.

what would you do I’ve applied for jobs would you accept any position and tell them when you start which I’ll be around 10/11 weeks or when offered a role tell them then?

my stress levels are awful and struggling to cope with the pressure of this.

That sucks. I would just look for jobs without disclosing it, being pregnant is a protected characteristic so it should make no difference if someone hires you or not, although that’s not always the case of course.

Start doing interviews, and tell the once you have a job and when you’re ready. I recently just left my job and found out I was pregnant while in training for my new job, such bad timing. I had to tell them as part of the training was physical and they had to put a risk assessment in place. 5 weeks is still pretty early most people wait until they are 3 months pregnant as the risk of a miscarriage reducing after that time. I’m about 5 weeks as well.
