All right - I desperately need a job and I'm 6 months pregnant. I am not able to lift over 10 lbs due to a bicornuate uterus.. my doctor just doesn't want anything to happen to me. I have a very healthy pregnancy besides that though. Question being.. what kind of job could I do to make decent money without struggling at the workplace? I've tried all the work at home jobs and they all cost money to start.. :confused:

Can you type? Do you live near a community college? Sometimes students will pay good money for people that will type for them. 
 
Or, what about a library? You'd be on your feet, but you probably wouldn't be lifting that heavy of books... 
 
Good luck, doll! :)

Another couple of ideas: receptionist or answering service. At my last job, our receptionist worked through her entire pregnancy.

I am going to speak frankly,  at 6 months pregnancy, you are going to have a hard time finding someone to hire you, even if there was no weight lifting issue,  add that ( since they don't want an issue with you hurting yourself and guess what a workers comp claim)
 
And add the fact you want to make good money doing it.
 
But beyond some office jobs or sale jobs I am at a loss.
