Having a child is supposed to be one of the happiest times of your life, but having to deal with pregnancy discrimination can be devastating. When looking to prove a pregnancy discrimination case, we often look at the timing of the adverse action, whether the adverse action was a termination, a demotion, or a failure to hire. Did the adverse action take place shortly after you announced your pregnancy? Did the adverse action take place right when you started to show? Or did the adverse action take place when you returned to work after maternity leave? These are all factors that can lead to an inference of discrimination.
