Could You Fail A Pre-employment Physical For Being Pregnant?
ok so of course im pregnant 19 weeks to be exact. I applied for a part-time CNA position jus so i could have some extra money in my pocket while attending school. I took a drug test and past, my background check and references all cleared… but now i have a pre- employment physical to undergo. Im afraid they will deem me unfit for the position because i am pregnant. If eventhough I am pregnant yet physically fit for the job… can they still fail me just for that reason. My urine test has already been submitted so i kno its not just a urine sample type of test. I know a couple women who have worked as cna’s while pregnant and was completely fine… furthermore the facility i applied for is an all lady nun retirement home… wherr most of the sisters there are in their 80s and 90s….. Do you think there is a chance i can still be denied employment :-/

At 19 weeks, it is possible to have high blood pressure. Otherwise, there is no reason for you to fail a pre-employment exam while pregnant.
as part of employment physicals, (i used to do them all the time like 6 a day) if you do urine testing they only check for possible drug use, or proteins, sugars in the urine, theyll be able to tell if you have diabetes,infections, and stuff going on inside your body, they wont check about pregnancy
If you go in to get a job they are not allowed to tell you, “you can’t work here because you’re pregnant.” It’s discrimination.
