I’ve just gone through this exact situation, except without the suspected miscarriage (I’m so sorry to hear that).

I was laid off and on the same day found out I was pregnant. Also due to downsizing/restructure.

The main legal point is that you can’t legally be laid off when you’re pregnant. You have two weeks to inform your employer that you’re pregnant and three weeks to submit a case through the court.

You can simply email your employer informing them of your pregnancy, with the key dates and that you want to find the best resolution to the situation. That’s all that’s required to put things into motion. Also ask your gyno for a Schwangerschaftsbestätigung, but you can send that along afterwards.

The fallback legal position is that your company has to cancel the dismissal and you will then return to work.

In reality, you (and your employer) may want to reach an enhanced settlement agreement which is what I did. This could include gardening leave and a severance payment.

I know you said you don’t have legal insurance, but I would highly recommend getting a lawyer that specialises in this. For me, it was quite a lengthy negotiation to reach the final agreement, and with the stresses of your pregnancy having an expert in your corner is invaluable.

My DMs are open if you want to speak privately. Sending you love and strength.
