Starting a job while pregnant.
5541 postsposted 23rd Sep
So I just found out that my all time favorite bakery is hiring cupcake decorators.
I don't need a job, but it would be so much fun for me and I'm hoping they'd eventually let me bake, that's my real passion.
Anyway, I haven't worked outside of the home in a little over 2 years.
I'm huge, and it's obvious I'm pregnant, should I even bother applying? I'm hoping that my passion for baking will outweigh the inconvenience of hiring someone that will have to be out of work for several weeks just a few months after being hired.
What do you all think? Have any of you started a job so far along in your pregnancy? Should I apply?
Experiences and opinions appreciated!

well it's not like the job requires you to lift heavy stuff or do anything that pregnant women can't do. . . take some already decorated cupcakes in and wow them! Render them unable to say no! Or you could just send me some if you want, I'll call the bakery and let them know the quality, y'know, just to help if I can

Thanks ladies for the feedback. I'm waiting for my husband to get home from work and then I'll head that way to apply!
