Would You Hire a Pregnant Lady

I’ve been applying for jobs even though I’m four months pregnant. I started applying a long time ago and now it’s become almost a sort of routine. My Mom told me nobody is going to hire me while I’m pregnant and I’m really starting to believe that. It seems nearly impossible. Most of what I’ve been applying for I would probably be able to continue on throughout my pregnancy and the birth, first year and so on. One of the jobs I applied for I’d not be able to wait to get back to work! 

I forgot about that application in particular until the Starbucks barista reminded me about it. Then I thought to myself, what if I actually got hired while I’m pregnant? The descriptions I read say that the employer will not discriminate based on factors such as pregnancy, but I’m not really sure I fully believe that. Luckily, I am blessed enough to have a supportive significant other who is happy about me spending time with the kids. 

Of course, I’ve been trying to get a job with Disney. The legal team directed me to get a job with Disney before I could try to get the Beauty and the Beast Ride up and running at the original Disneyland. So I’ve been trying to get a Disney career for a few years now. I just found out recently that Disney careers offers daycare for employees so I’m extra happy about the idea of getting hired. My kids have already agreed to going to Disney daycare and are excited about it. Of course, overall, I prefer a job/career where I can bring the kids to work with me if I wanted to. Is that possible?
