Let’s face it – most of us need to work to eat and pay for a roof over our head. But what if you lose your job when you just become pregnant or the perfect job has come available. Should you apply for it?
There’s nothing to stop you, but it’s inevitable that you’ll come across skepticism, at the least, and hostility at the most.

You can read about study findings that were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, in this article, When Applying For Jobs Pregnant Women Face Hostile Behavior.
