You Shouldn’t Have to Choose Between Family and Your Career
Pregnancy should be a time of hope—not fear about your job. Yet many women face unfair treatment at work the moment they announce a pregnancy or request accommodations. At DiSilvio Young, we fight for employees who have been penalized, pushed out, or mistreated because they’re pregnant or recently gave birth.
If your employer treated you differently because of your pregnancy, we’re here to help you take action.
What Is Pregnancy Discrimination?

Your Legal Rights
Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfavorably because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. This includes bias in hiring, firing, promotions, job assignments, and access to leave.

-
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act)
-
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
-
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
-
Relevant state anti-discrimination laws
If you’ve experienced pregnancy discrimination, you may be entitled to:
-
Back pay and lost wages
-
Reinstatement or front pay
-
Emotional distress damages
