To successfully win a pregnancy discrimination claim, an employee must provide evidence showing that her pregnancy was a substantial motivating reason for an adverse employment (such as a demotion, a write up and, of course, a termination) and that other employees in similar situations were treated differently.

To prove this kind of discrimination, you need to demonstrate that your employer treated you differently because you are or were recently pregnant. If your pregnancy prompted a harmful employment decision, such as termination or failure to promote, compensation may be available.

Your chances of winning a discrimination case are much higher if you have the evidence and documentation to support your claim of discrimination. Such evidence could be direct or circumstantial.
