I'd only apply to short-term gigs for right now and stick to working at content mills until you deliver and you're adjusted to life with baby. I worked through contractions to finish out my writing gig and at the time I was doing customer service. The customer service job was quite upset that I delivered early, since it wasn't what I originally told them. Anyways, from that experience, I learned not to work too close to your due date, since not all clients and jobs are forgiving when you're having a baby. Not only that, every baby is different, so you never know what your schedule will look like after you give birth. My son preferred to have frequent nursing times that were short, but when he feel asleep he was out for a long time. He only wanted to be held, so since I didn’t put him in the swing much, I didn't have much time to write at first. I did find some time, but not enough to take on big projects.

Congratulations on your upcoming arrival!
