Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based on an employee’s pregnancy. This is considered to be a subset of gender discrimination, because only women can become pregnant, so discrimination against pregnant employees is inherently discrimination against women.

To prove a case for pregnancy discrimination, you essentially must prove that your employer discriminated against you in the terms, conditions, or privileges of your employment because of you were pregnant.
