I don't know what the laws in the UK are but we have maternity rights in the U.S. You may not get paid during your leave, but your job is protected for so many weeks and you cannot be fired for being pregnant (for most jobs). I think those that are too dangerous for a pregnant woman say so in the contract. As a matter of fact, we are required to tell the boss if we get pregnant. It's a safety thing.

What type of work did you do? I guess trinual means you tried to appeal the decision?
