Opinions Please!!!
I know I don't post too often, but wanted to hear opinions on this. I am currently looking for a new job for higher pay, just found out I am pregnant and I am not sure what I should do now. Do I continue to look for another job or should I just stay put until I go on Maternity leave. What is the most logical thing to do? Help please!!! TIA

Re: Opinions Please!!!
Do you get paid maternity leave at your current position? Are you currently eligible for FMLA?
Do you have sick/vacation time stored up that you could use (also)?
How are the conditions at your current job?

Yes, we get paid short-term disability and I am eligible for FMLA.
My PTO will replenish in November, so I should be good with that
The job is not bad at all, I go home at 4pm and my boss is really nice, I just needed more money, you know how that goes, never satisfied. I was figuring maybe I stick it out because who knows going into a new company I may not be covered for maternity since most places require you to be employed with them for a year right...

Yes, you need to be at a new job for a year to qualify for FMLA.
Anyhow, from what you describe, I would stay put where you are.
Especially if you have a nice boss! You're very lucky.
