I am pregnant and I feel like I am being discriminated against because of my pregnancy. Do I have any rights? 
Yes. If your employer has 5 or more employees, it is subject to California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act which prohibits pregnancy discrimination. If your employer is taking “adverse employment actions” against you because of your pregnancy, you may have a claim for pregnancy discrimination amongst other things.

There are only 3 other employees working for my company, can I sue my employer for Pregnancy Discrimination?
Unfortunately, to be a “covered employer” in California under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, your employer must have 5 or more employees. However, if you were terminated as a result of your pregnancy, you may have a public policy wrongful termination claim.
