Do pregnant women have the right to request to WFH?

I've been thinking if I should ask my boss if there's any possibility of letting me WFH 100% at least during my 1st trimester. However, my concern is that if I was allowed to WFH 100%, other colleagues will start asking. But I don't intend to let them know about my pregnancy until the 2nd trimester. Also, colleagues might find it unfair if I get to WFH 100% but they don't. Am I thinking too much when I should be thinking for myself too? Do we have the right to make such request?

Hey yes it’s worth asking especially with the rising covid cases! Your boss should be understanding of your situation. If not, you can always write to your HR to seek advice
