Asking because at work things are getting hard for me in this trimester and im wondering about my rights and leave. Is pregnancy treated as a disability anywhere, like legally? Just trying to understand where i stand.
Honestly it is not classed as a disability, but you do get certain protections and leave under the law here. If you mean from a work or benefits angle, HR or a legal source is better than us. Medically it is just a natural condition, not an illness.
Pregnancy is not a disability, it is a normal life stage, but workplaces should accommodate it. In my office I got maternity leave and some flexibility, which helped a lot. Check your company HR policy for your rights.
No, pregnancy is not a disability at all. It is your body doing something amazing. But yes you deserve rest and support, so dont feel guilty asking for help when you need it.
