[quote=Anonymous]This is awful.  I am so sorry, OP.  this absolutely sounds like blatant discrimination.

In addition to documenting everything and consulting an employment attorney about this (which you should do ASAP and keep it quiet!!), you should also refrain from further discussions about your pregnancy at work.  Maybe you already have.  If anyone asks, just say "things are fine" or something to that effect.  Do not volunteer info to anyone at your office.

Also, if further comments are made to you about how your pregnancy and motherhood will adversely impact your job, consider saying something like "I don't see why it would be an issue" in a nice, non-defensive way.  Just to let them know you disagree with their statements.  If you are not responding at all or just get upset and walk away when they say these things, then they can say that you're complicit and going along with how they are shuffling you around.  Also, it's not giving them the opportunity to correct the situation because you're not telling them you disagree.  Just be matter-of-fact about it.   Of course you can still do your job.  You're pregnant for god's sake, not terminally ill.
