I was recently laid off from my job while pregnant, and the timing couldn't have been more shocking. On the same day I discovered I was expecting, I received a notification to join a call where I, along with 300 others, was informed of the layoffs. It was surreal; I had just taken a pregnancy test and saw the positive result, only to be told I was losing my job. After facing secondary infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, this wave of emotions is truly overwhelming. Currently, I’m still required to work until my official separation date, which has been extended for me in hopes of finding another position within the company. However, I can’t shake the anxiety of job searching while pregnant, especially considering the ethical implications of a company that lays off so many employees to offshore jobs. I worry about how this might affect my chances of being hired elsewhere, and the thought of starting new insurance during this time adds to my stress. I know I’m not alone in this situation, and I would appreciate any comfort or advice from those who have faced similar challenges.
