Leslie, I believe I sent you some info regarding your situation' look into (US Dept of Labor) and key in Pregnancy Act, then 'click on' Major Federal Laws for workers who are Pregnant or Nursing. You can get more info to help you retrieve your job back or file a legal law suit against your former employer, don't just 'Give up', take advantage of it, go back to school, study law or something, get a student loan...
