Dear Sunita,

Good to hear from you. I have the following suggestions:

1. In your job search, rule out the jobs that include traveling or late hours.
2. Take a view of the company's policy towards Maternity Leave. You will gain insight into the decisions they might make.
3. Since you are clear that you are not looking for benefits, please make this completely clear to your prospective employer. Keep your medical reports ready for reference, although you might not need them.
4. Please keep professional recommendations or testimonials ready for reference.
5. Look for a job that would require you to work on a contract basis; that way, you can keep your stakes low. In case you don't like the job, you can easily discontinue and take a break. It would not impact your employment history.
6. Based on the demanding profile you currently have, chances are high that you will get hired easily. But the challenge would come once you join. Your employer might not be ready to give you a break during your probation period. Hence, take a target-based job to mitigate risks for both.

Wish you all the best.

This query may have been posted due to various valid reasons...

As most of the members said, there is no rule in law that a pregnant lady shouldn't be appointed. However, when appointed, maternity benefits cannot be applied to the lady. You can very well search for a company that accommodates you and offers the flexibility to complete your assignments from home itself, at least for some time. Nothing is impossible in this world, but we have to put all our heartfelt efforts towards our goal. That's all.

It's not fair to just throw invalid, discouraging, and hurtful comments on someone's needs. If we have an idea to help out, let us express it. Don't know why you quoted the below as 'Anonymous.' It might be out of your great observation, just sitting and watching others not doing your work. Great!

Let us see the world with a positive vision!
