My guess is that, since you mention talking with the owner of your company, and you sound very immature and naive, [b]you are working for a small company for which FMLA does not apply[/b]. I don't know what legal recourse you have, but it sounds like you may want to consult an employment attorney.

The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act applies to everybody -- including to employers too small for FMLA, and to employees who sound very immature and naïve.

[i]An employer cannot refuse to hire a woman because of her pregnancy related condition as long as she is able to perform the major functions of her job.  An employer cannot refuse to hire her because of its prejudices against pregnant workers or because of the prejudices of co-workers, clients, or customers.  The PDA also forbids discrimination based on pregnancy when it comes to any other aspect of employment, including pay, job assignments, promotions, layoffs, training, fringe benefits, firing, and any other term or condition of employment.[/i]
