Laid Off At 9 Months Pregnant After 2 Years With The Company — Could This Be Considered Discrimination?

I’m looking for some outside perspectives because I’m honestly not sure how to feel about this situation.

I was recently laid off from my job after working there for over 2 years, and I am currently 9 months pregnant. The timing has obviously made this situation especially difficult, both financially and emotionally.

The reason I was given by management was that they could no longer afford to pay my wage and cuts needed to be made. As far as I know I am the only employee that was laid off and other employees only had their hours decreased to save cost for the company.

What has me questioning things is the fact that I was let go this late in my pregnancy. I’m trying to understand whether this could potentially be considered pregnancy discrimination, or if it’s simply an unfortunate coincidence and the company is legally within its rights to eliminate my position.

For some additional context, I had been with the company for two years and was still actively working before the layoff. I’m also currently not really in a position physically to be applying and interviewing for new jobs, which makes being unemployed right before giving birth particularly stressful.

I’m not necessarily looking for people to tell me what I want to hear. I’d genuinely appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with something similar, especially if you have experience with employment law or pregnancy discrimination.

Would being laid off at 9 months pregnant after two years with the company raise any red flags, or is there more that would need to be considered to determine whether this was discriminatory?
