yes, I don't think my new job can fire me directly based on pregnancy, but I'm on 3 months probation and in my contract it says the period will enable me and the company to determine "if the position is suitable to your skills, qualifications and capacity". So I'm sure somehow they can find a way to terminate on that basis, not having the capacity to do the job. If I get asked to do long hours during a tender that is coming, I'm going to refuse. I did a 12 hour day on Sunday with personal events and I was knackered. I might be getting all paranoid for nothing, but boss when he talks about my role, talks long term. I just feel like I'm letting them down. I think I will contact one of my recruitment consultants and see what they say. I think govt aren't allowed to discriminate contractors based on pregnancy. Think I've seen it in their ads or something somewhere when looking for roles.
