Repetition is the Mother of Skill. So it Bears Repeating! If You're an EXPECTANT MOTHER, You are Entitled TO FLEXIBILITY AND WORKPLACE ACCOMMODATIONS!

Under federal and most state and city anti-discrimination laws, almost ALL employers are required to show compassion and flexibility* to its pregnant employees during their pregnancies, after their babies are born, and even after they return to work and require accommodations for lactation and breast feeding purposes.

Any differential or hostile workplace treatment because of pregnancy is illegal sex, gender, and pregnancy discrimination and often disability discrimination, too.

Document in writing any requests for flexibility and pregnancy-related accommodations, as well as complaints about discriminatory treatment you're experiencing due to your pregnancy, related medical conditions, and your need for OB/Gyn appointments and testing, and requests for temporary light duty.

Step up and fight for your right to be equal! And don't quit  your job due to discrimination, as that's like throwing out the baby with the bath water! 🙄🤓

Put the company on notice about your requests and complaints, and let them investigate and do the right thing to hook you up, as they're required to do.

If your company treats you worse, or refuses to implement a reasonable request for flexibility of your pregnancy, then you can chat with an employment lawyer.

*Compassion and flexibility is better known in legal parlance as reasonable accommodations of the natural limitations of pregnancy, or its related medical issues.
