If you follow this blog at all, then you know that I lost my job of nearly FOUR YEARS just DAYS after announcing my pregnancy on Facebook. I have spoken with a LOT of people regarding pregnancy discrimination over the course of the last few months and today, found this article and thought it was VERY informative. I tried to reblog it for you, fellow preggos but was unsuccessful, but please check it out. Pregnancy discrimination is a real thing. A real, terrible, thing.

Wow, that totally sucks. I find it really sad that women still have to face this issue in our country. Sorry that happened to you!
I know. I never thought, in a million years, that something like this could/would happen. But it has, and it is definitely time for people to take a stand. This should never happen to anyone. Thanks for reading!
