I am pregnant and dealing with harrassment and stress at my work from my boss.
Not to long ago behind my back she was planning without my consent to give my position away to another employee who just started there not to long ago. I was totally un aware of this. Then she was basically going to force me to do something that they call Truck which is unloading 900 piece full of merchandise for our store. I went to my Prenatal Dr. she had written me a note to bring to my Manager saying that I cannot lift anything over 15 pounds which most of the items on the truck are way over 15 pounds. Knowing that I gave her the note she wanted me to do truck anyway. I did not end up doing it because the Truck had come early but if it did'nt I would have had no choice. I'm being harrassed called lazy that I'm not doing certain things to her expectations which I totally disagree because I do everything I need to do at the best of my capability. I've had morning sickness and go into work. There was recently a day I called my boss up and told her that I was very sick and would'nt be able to make it she told me bluntly you're going to have to go in because I have a party to go to. So I went in and got sick and to top it all off it was in front of 2 customers I got sick in front of it was not only embarrassing but wrong I had no choice though. When I first got hired on my boss knew I did not drive and my transportation was the community transit bus then she had no problem with it but now it's a different story she says I'm always late this and that. I've been late 3 times and it's only been by 10 minutes but she knew and at first she said it was no problem and it would'nt be a problem. It's causing me emotional stress and I can't deal with it anymore she is constantly nit picking at me and I don't know how to go about dealing with this.

That's not right at all. She could be acting like this in order to get you to quit so she doesn't have to deal with finding someone to replace you while on maternity leave, as well as pay you while you're on leave.
Does she have a supervisor or is there a human resources department where you work? Unless she owns the company, there is someone above her and you need to talk to them.
You can't do anything to hurt your baby, and they can't make you, especially if you already had doctors orders. They cannot go against them. Something needs to be done about that lady before she causes you or your baby permanent damage.
Good luck and congratulations on your baby!

Do you know how to contact her supervisor? I'd give them a call and explain to them what is going on. That is, if everything you're saying is completely true and not exaggerated in any way. Saying that, if this problem cannot be worked out in any way, I would look into finding another job. If she's treating you this way with you being pregnant, God only knows how she'll treat you once you have a child and need to take off work to take the child to the doctor if he/she is sick. I wish you the best of luck.

Dang, I would have punched her in the face already!! Way to go with the patience! Sit down with her in a meeting and tell her you are being harrassed. Call the corporate office and file a complaint. Go over her head if you can. If she fires you, collect unemployment. Its wrong what she is doing. She has to have a boss, go to him/her. Good luck sweetie.

File a complaint with the human resources department of the company you work for. You can also file a complaint with your local labor department.

Yes, that is harassment. Call up a lawyer to see what she/he can do for you. There's no hurt in calling. Don't let people treat you and your baby that way. You don't have to put up with it. Write down everything so you don't forget it and call a freaking lawyer!

You need to place a grievance complaint with Human Resourses right away what your boss is doing is illegal.
