Did you feel like you were treated differently after telling your boss your pregnant

Question

I feel like before i was pregnant thwy were training me for a promotion (when the next one come up) the second i said i was pregnant they bearly talk to me and are trying to push me out of my role so they can backfill my position(which i understand) but all of this started at 12 weeks not later in my pregnancy as you would expect

Answer

Yes, but not in a rude way. He’s a lot nicer to me and reminds me often that if I need to duck out a smidge early for an apt to just give him a heads up and I don’t have to put it in for time off. I am high risk and missed a lot of work with our first and I think he’s trying to help keep my stress levels down.

Answer

With my job if I have any restrictions my work will let me go immediately. That being said I’m high risk and have had numerous complications so far and have had to call in (all with doctors notes) but still on the edge of getting fired because they said the company only allows two doctors notes a year. The rest are write ups. So pretty much I’m walking on very thin ice until I deliver the baby. I wish I could just stay home but due to financial reasons that’s not an option for me right now. After maternity leave (which my work will fire me and then have me summit another application) I think I’m going to find a different job all together.

Answer

I rarely see my boss. I would even consider us friends but we don't hang out anymore because we're both always so busy. She hasn't been rude. You can tell she's a little stressed about it all because I am in charge of a lot plus I am giving up my management position so she has to find someone to take over my job.

Answer

My bosses knew I was going through IVF and when I got back from bedrest they knew I would know a week later. I told them right away that it worked and they were so excited for me. I have one male and one female boss. She gave me a big hug and he was so nice about it. I’m hoping it doesn’t change as I get farther in but so far they have been totally amazing and keep telling me not to stress since everything is about baby now.

Answer

Answer

I'm in the Navy, active duty on board a ship. My leadership is extremely sexist as it is, so when I told him, he said TO MY FACE, "you've got to be fucking kidding me. I'm tired of navy females."

Answer

I am the boss. So no, lol.

Answer

At my job even if your pregnant nothing changes except if you have a writing by doctor what you can and can’t do because it will be Discrimination

Answer

Yup I was meant to start my dispensing course within a couple of weeks ( I told them I was pregnant at 5 weeks because I can’t touch certain medications) around 8 weeks my boss called me in for a meeting and told me because of my ‘situation’ and pointed at my belly I couldn’t do the course which is only 8 weeks long. They then started having a go at me because I had to refuse to do certain prescriptions because of the medications. She was also pregnant and a due a week after me
