[quote=Anonymous] If it gives OP any comfort, my DH got a very low bonus for two years in a row when he was a non-equity partner (aka glorified senior associate) at a Biglaw firm. So it may not be that you're pregnant, but that you're not a top performer and they do not wish to retain you. This is the big leagues (at least in the legal world), and not a social club where everyone gets a trophy. I worked in BigLaw myself as an associate 20 years ago. I had the associate mentality. Now I have also seen BigLaw from the partner side (DH trying to bring in business and retain clients). So now a lot of associate behavior seems entitled and naive to me. (I now work in-house, fortunately, which is so much better than working in a law firm. I highly recommend it. But first, if you can, take some time at home with your new baby - congratulations.)
