Does anyone know of jobs that a pregnant woman can get? My Youth Minister husband was asked to put in his resignation 2 weeks ago. He was asked to give it the next Sunday and then not to come back. We knew only those at the church so we immediately moved in order to be closer to family. (Our little one will be here in about 3-4 months.)

My husband is trying to find another youth/children's ministry position in this area, but I would like to help out if possible. We are currently living in an apt his aunt owns and has offered us, but we need some income before the baby is born. Needless to say we can't afford a home-based business that will make me have to buy anything to get it started.

If you can help please let me know. Also any prayer support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Well I'm training to find a job the I can do now that I'm pregnant. I'm 7 1/2 months. I'm in a program through the welfare in Pa. They have me looking for jobs, but I really can't do it. I'm going to college but it doesn't start until January, so in that time they want me to work. What can I do?

I would love to try some of the baking and crafty things but that I think would take more money and space than I would be able to get right now. If something did work out though I've never used ebay and don't know if I wholy trust it. Where else would I be able to try to sell those types of things. (I had thought at one time of making those gifts in a jar things but couldn't figure out where to sell them or for how much.) I would also love to do some type of childcare but the daycare I used to work at, the only reason they hired a pregnant woman was because they didn't know she was. Not to mention that we've just moved to the area and I don't know anyone, my apt is to small and above a flower shop so I couldn't do it there, and we only have one car between my husband and myself and he may start work as a Pizza Hut driver here soon so getting to others homes might be difficult as well. I'm not trying to shoot down ideas but trying to be realistic to myself. If you have any ideas to get around these obsticales I would be more than happy to hear you out.

Our church in Stoughton, WI is looking for a part-time youth pastor.
Regarding jobs--I agree with doing child care, or if you are artistic or crafty, make and sell items.
God's blessings to you and your family

They didn't give us a lot of info but mainly just that the youth were wanting to leave and a few parents with them and the youth sponsers weren't willing to work with him anymore. The thing though is that when we talked with some of the sponsers that we know were "in" on this they said it was only 1/2 people that wanted his resignation and the rest said that it could be worked out. Communication broke down in that church and if they are wanting to continue growing like they say they do then they need to get it figured out. We still love the church and want what's best for it but wish we could find out for sure what happened.

My brother just got a job with a cell phone copmany. It's a telemarketing kind of thing, but he takes orders I think. He also gets a free cellphone and free service. I think he makes $10/hour. Maybe that's something you can look into.

May I suggest some of the websites like WAHM.com. Sometimes you can get jobs like customer service from home without having to put any money into it

I agree, try the temp agency near you. Or the telemarketing; here in PA, it pays pretty well if you have the patience for it.

If you are a wordsmith like myself, you could try calling your local paper and asking them to help you find a place to write responses for a "Dear Abby" column or to help you publish short stories. For fiction, it would be best to call a magazine editor rather than a newspaper; most papers no longer have much of an interest in publishing stories. (I think that's sad, but oh well).

Alternatively, if you have any friends or family (such as your family members) who have "connections" in their place of employment perhaps they could find you a temporary clerical position (in other words, a desk job).
Blessings In Christ,

My daughter is 5 months pregnant and just got a job as a telemarketer. It's not a great job, but it will add to the household income until the baby comes and she can apply for other jobs. I think the pay is a little over $7 an hour and that's in Arkansas. Might pay more where you are.

HOW ABOUT BABYSITTING

Do you have any temp agencies in your area ? You may want to call several of them, they can place you in assignments that are short term or long term.

You could also sell home baked goodies on ebay. For example, I just checked and homemade peanut butter cookies are selling for about 12/dozen. You would have to make a batch for your picture, but then your family could enjoy the cookies. At least you won't have to buy a lot of supplies because you don't have to make the cookies till someone buys them.

People also sell cakes and other baked goodies on ebay. If you can bake, you may want to search and see what other baked items are selling on ebay.
