[quote=Anonymous]I know two people with cases of pregnancy discrimination that ended very differently. One was fired within two weeks of disclosing that she was pregnant (at 4 or 5 months). The case was so cut and dry she easily won a settlement which has allowed her stay at home with her baby for a year.

The other was my sister. She worked for a religious organization that disagreed with her decision to do IVF as a single woman. She had to share because of the number of appointments, and from then on they slowly and systematically marginalized her, and eventually fired her. However they were able to document that she had missed work, etc. and also that it wasn't necessarily tied to the pregnancy because it wasn't immediately after her sharing the news. She got just enough $ to cover her bills and basically ended up where she started.

This is all to say that I agree with the PPs that you should document especially the timing of this behavior because you need to link the cause and result. It looks like you have a pretty clear cut case. Get a good lawyer and good luck, and I'm also sorry you have to deal with this. [/quote]
