Scared to start new job

in June 2016 Moms
I got my BFP the morning of my final interview. It is a sales position which means lots of in car travel and going in and out of doctors offices. It also requires me to go to NJ for training for one week. I'm terrified- I'm worried about how crappy I feel, I'm worried about having a MC while I'm away (I had MMC last year), I'm worried I will have this new job and have to take a lot of time off, Im concerned I will be aick when Im up there for training and they will be ticked off they hired someone who was pregnant and feel like I misled them....I'm supposed to start Monday with a one week home study then go to NJ the following week. My first ultrasound is scheduled four days before I'm supposed to leave. I was so excited about getting that job before I found out I was pregnant now I don't even know if I want to take it. Funny how something so exciting to me is now so trivial since I have a little growing bean.

    Girl, I'd just tell them. Just be honest. As far as the work, as long as u can handle it, I say go for it. As for me, I am a broker and contribute heavily to our household income, but I have news for my DH. When this baby comes, I WILL NOT leave it to go back to work. That's just me.

    h-e-l-l no! If I were you I wouldn't go back either!! I have my real estate license and have been trying to talk my DH into letting me focus on that FT, but it's a huge income jump to build up my business. Is this your first?

    I wouldn't  let this stress you out.  It is perfectly feasible to start a new job at this stage in your pregnancy.  I understand that you have some fears and concerns related to having a healthy pregnancy, but you can manage both.  The great thing about a sales position is that your office visits are limited to doctor's office hours, and you will have reasonable work hour expectations.  By the time you will need to take time off, you will have been a contributing member for the team for at least 6 months. This is an exciting time for you with a lot of changes... embrace it!

    I'm sort of in the same boat. I've been job hunting for a while because I really want to get out of where I am now. I stopped applying when I got my bfp. But I just found a PERFECT job that I'm qualified for, and I don't even want to apply. I came to the conclusion that I'm going to apply anyway and just see what happens. You're GOOD, that's why they hired you. So just go for it and do your best and they will understand! They hired you!

    If you tell them once you're in the second trimester they will be able to do the math and they'll figure out that you didn't know either. Take your wonderful new job! Good luck girl!

    My first pregnancy was similar to this! I found out I was pregnant 2 days after starting a job at a very large investment banking corporation. Honestly I just told my manager and he was very understanding and the next 9 months went on just fine. I was worried about how they'd react too but everyone was cool with it and I had no problems! Just tell them and be honest, I bet it won't be as bad as you think!

    I am also in sales and yes the flexibility in the job is being able to schedule appointments. I usually schedule them on my office days which are Monday's. I would definitely wait until after the first tri to tell them. The way I see it, I am also putting in more work now because I know it will be harder later on. If it's something you are excited about I know you will do your best to get trained and up and running. Just remember they can't descriminate and if it's a good company, which it sounds like it is, they would rather have a dedicated employee who is in it for the long haul than look at from the perspective that you will be out for a few weeks on maternity leave. Good luck and congrats!
