Hiya,
I'm a first-time PG and need some advice.
I lost my job and while job-hunting, discovered I was PG (we were trying for a while and isn't timing a wonderful thing!)
I've been offered a job that is way below my previous salary and would just cover a full time nanny, in a stable but boring environment.
I feel so guilty about starting a job and then telling them that I have 5 months before I go off on Mat leave! It's also not economically viable to work there full-time after the birth and pay for a nanny, but I do have to work.
On the flip-side, I've been offered a part-time job in a less stable place, which would be home based and would pay similar for part time as the full time would. (So I could hire a part time nanny and have money left.) Also, assume it would make breast-pumping etc easier if home based?)
Which would you take? Stable but full time or unstable and part time?
I want to have a career after baby is born and don't want to sabotage that, but also want to have time to spend with baby, rather than rushing back to work full time straight after.
Sorry for the long post!

How soon did you go back to work after you had your baby, if you weren't earning loads? Help!
