    is there no way that you can do freelance or temp work until the time you are due to go on maternity leave? If your pregnancy is precious to you then why go through the potential stresses and strains of a new job - if you need to earn money then why not take a few weeks' temp work, as it's summer there might be more vacancies with holidays, etc.

    Hi Miss Reynolds,

    Good Luck to you I wish you all the best in your career and pregnancy..

    I understand where you are coming from and fair play to you for actually getting off your behind and looking for a job as there are plenty I know that would rather sponge off the state....


    Good luck to you all the best

    If it were me I'd have told the employers that I was pregnant before the work started. However I can get all this sactimonious rubbish that employees should hold themselves to some moral high ground when employers treat people like resources such as pieces of paper and think nothing of dumping them for whatever reason if they feel like it.

    OP did nothing wrong legally and I'm willing to bet this company, who only seem to employ on one year contracts in some sort of butt covering exercise, have used the law on their side to immorally but not illegally treat people badly too.
