Is This Violating The Pregnancy Worker Fairness Act?

Location: Virginia

I work at a daycare and my son goes there as well so this also complicates the matter at hand so I’m looking for any advice.

I have worked at this large chain daycare rhymes with Sindercare for a year and a half and have held the cook position for most of that time. I was pregnant at the end of September but ended up miscarrying in the middle of work and my boss tried to get me to stay while actively miscarrying but ultimately I was granted 3 days of paid leave from HR (my boss fought it and even tried to take it off my timecard).

When I returned from my miscarriage I had my hours cut and was told that they didn’t need me for the full time they had me before. I said okay I can make that work. Continued with my new hours which were 7:00am-12:30pm for 4 days and one day I worked 7:00am - 2:30pm for the day I had to put away food inventory. My son loves the daycare and that was the main reason I continued to make it work.

Recently I found out I was pregnant again and I waited to announce until I had my first ultrasound and little baby was doing good. As soon as I informed my boss that I was pregnant again I was given double the work with no break at all. For example here last week, I came in at 7:00am fixed breakfast for the center and was told I needed to go into a toddler class for a little bit. I ended up being over ratio but I was told to lie about it on the CSR which is a legal document used to document how many children are in the room and how many teachers to make sure you are following ratio guidelines (I didn’t and I called licensing and I assume this is partly why I’m being treated this way) and then when it came time for me to leave they instead had me cover a break then go back into the kitchen unload all the boxes for inventory that day then return to the classroom where I stayed until 4:45pm with no break (an almost 10 hour day) and I was hours past my time to leave.

The next day I went to work I had a ton of bleeding and I came up front to my boss expecting the worst because I had miscarried at work before. I was told that I could leave but I had to come back if everything was okay and I was confused because it was 12:00pm and my shift ended at 12:30pm and I explained this and she said that she wanted me to do other tasks around the building. Well I took my son and I left. I ended up having a subchronic hematoma and I have a negative blood type so I needed the rhogam shot to ensure the baby’s blood didn’t mix with mine. This combined with the ultrasound took me to around 3:30pm and I was emotionally and physically exhausted so I didn’t go back to work because my shift was well past over.

Now they have just sent out the schedule for next week and I’m not on it at all. Can they punish me for having a medical emergency or is there a rule that will protect me with the pregnant worker fairness act? I don’t want to work there anymore but I’m thinking about a legal case if I have a leg to stand on.

Side note I have proof that I have posted to Reddit before of this same boss editing my timecard without permission from me because they were over in hours but still needed a teacher and stole time from me.
