Is ur boss understanding or accommodating?

Hi, i am wondering if your boss is understanding and accommodating with regards to you being pregnant. I can't help but feel that the workforce here is nt exactly supportive to us mummies/pregnant mummies. Its my 2nd time pregnant and this time I'm in a different company. Both times, i feel the bosses are not that understanding. After annoucing I'm pregnant, im still being micro managed, given tons of work with tight deadlines. Im not asking for no work but with the not feeling well on n off, mc for check up, i really can't finish the tasks in such a tight time and i am trying to avoid working OT. Im not sure how to let my boss understand without making my performance looks bad. Sometimes i also wonder, Govt wants us to give birth but it's just so hard. Do they know how hard it is and have they provided enough info, educate or help employers so they can prehaps treat pregnant mummies with more understanding? Curious to know if your bosses are like that too.

yea i feel you. everything was okay before i told my boss i am preggy . after that, can tell he not happy about it. he started to micro manage me anf stress me and also refused to let me wfh when it was discussed during interview. i guess my situation is also a combo of poor sales + i just started job in oct 2022. he bring up paycut and retrenchment more then once ( because sale is not good). he knows he cant just fire me and his wife is HR in E&Y. so i guess that why he used retrenchment. it was affecting me alot, i cannot eat, i feel cramp and i decided F it. i quit, my health and bb health is more important. its only 3 months away from my edd but well, my health and mental health is more important. i cannot risk this pregnancy. lucky my hubby is supportive and we are fortunate to be able to survive on hubby income.
