Would you leave your child with a new CM if you knew she was pregnant?

Slightly odd question but I passed ICP (to become CM) last July but have moved house twice since then so Ofsted only came out to do initial visit last month, I am now waiting for my CRB to come back, and obviously because I've had a few addresses in the last 5 yrs it'll take a while. This is frustrating cos I just want to get started. Ends are just about meeting but obviously we've been on one income longer than we bargained for.
I have just found out I am 5wks pg with dc2 and am delighted but can't help thinking its just going to delay getting started childminding yet again. Would knowing this make you choose another childcarer over me?

tbh yes I would probably choose a different childminder if I wanted long term care because continuity is important in terms of building up a relationship and getting to know the child etc. Some people though might only need to use a cm for a few months before starting school etc so they might not be as bothered.
