Suggestions on another job?

[xLilliee]

Hello everyone! Not sure if this is the right category but it seemed most fitting.

I'm 20 & I recently got my BFP and I'm going to see the doctor in a couple weeks.

Beside the point, I'm starting a temporary summer position at a hospital. I've had this position for 2 summers now. It ends at the end of July. If everything goes right, I'll be around 4 months pregnant. I do have rent to pay and obligations to take care of, so going jobless isn't an option.

Now, I know that companies legally cannot give me a job because of a pregnancy, but they can come up with some other "excuse". The only job experience I have is 3 years of fast food, the hospital, and I worked at Walmart for 8 months.

I need some suggestions or advice on jobs. My boyfriend has a job, no worries about that one, but we do have our own apartment and he can't do it all by himself.

Thanks x

Would it be an option to get a different job over the summer, one that isn't temporary, so you're taken on before it becomes obvious that you're pregnant? It's not right but I do think you might struggle to get a new job while obviously pregnant. Or is there any way you can apply now for another job at the hospital - a non-temporary similar job? What is it you do at the hospital - anything that could be done from home on a self-employed basis for another employer e.g. admin or accounts?

I've already started the job. I was thinking about staying here at the hospital somewhere. All I do at the hospital is supervise teenagers that do the volunteer program.
