New law will aim to cover expectant mothers from the moment they tell their boss they are pregnant.
Sarah - pictured with son Ted - says it broke her heart when she felt forced to leave her company after giving birthPregnant women will get more protection against being made redundant under new rules set to become law later this year.Under the new law, this protection will begin from the moment a woman tells her boss she is pregnant until the child is 18 months old.
The Barnsley Central MP - the former mayor of South Yorkshire - said it would help the "tens of thousand of women pushed out of the workforce every year simply for being pregnant". Women already have some protection under the Equality Act which states that an employer cannot discriminate against someone because they are pregnant or on maternity leave. There are also employment laws which protect people from being dismissed from their job unfairly.
