Victimisation @ work due to pregnancy

As a rule employers cant sack women who are pregnant. They are not allowed to give you job up either when ur on maternity leave. And you are allowed to have anti appointments booked during working hours so u need to get them done. :) i dont know if my post is too late to this but i wanted to reply anyways.

I have also had a nightmare with work I was off work for a 8 week I was ment to be having my womb removed and the day of the pre admission they realised I was preg I was over the moon as they told me I cud not have a child, I was 5 week I had to tell my boss and the hospital told me to stay on the sick till I was 12 week which is next week I give work a sick note but yet they wanted my medical records I told them no they have cut my hours to also told me I can't go to anti appointment to make them in my own time they have been calling me. Coming to my house I feel like I am be bullied my female boss has been funny with me saying all kinds of things they are being very difficult like they want me to leave they have taken me off my normal role which was customer compliant and gave it to someone else and kind of made me the office junior joke

I am taking my ex boss to court as when i told him i was pregnant back in january he sacked me on the spot x

Might be worth you calling Citizens Advice and asking them, it will all depend on your contract and hours, but they are really good, they gave me very sound advice as I found out I was pregnant whilst I was still in a probation period and was worried about letting work know about my pregnancy in case they got rid of me. Whats saddest of all to me is that my immediate male boss has been really supportive and yet his female boss seems to be making every effort to apply additional pressure within my job and silly targets - feels like constructive dismissal - I was sorry to hear it is a female suggesting a cut off in your hours too, has she got children - does she appreciate you need every penny and will remain committed - all you want is a few more breaks? Hope you get it all sorted out, but do give Citizens Advice a call they were great. :)

hi all hope nobody minds me joining this thread only im new to this i have 2 boys aged 12 and 8 and am 10 weeks pregnant i work as a hairdresser and i feel like i am being victimised because i told my employer early due to lack of breaks and being on my feet all day but since iv told her she told me last week she wants to cut my hours down does any one no if i have ant rights to appeal this matter i would be grateful for any suggestions x
