First of all congratulations and best wishes.

Firing after disclosure of pregnancy is discrimination. Please save copy of communication sent.

Please disclose and proceed on leave after completing due process.

Also make it clear that you are open for LWP also.

In case you are fired it's an open and shut case in labour court. But will take time, be ready for that.

Tell your company abt your pregnancy first time via official channel only. Don't tell it personally to your manager etc or they will do it dirty...

So you suggesting to disclose my pregnancy as soon as possible. But if I disclose will I get project because still 1 month is left on bench so hoping I can get project then I can go for pregnancy leave as per my convenience ?
So do i have that liberty to disclose now and go for leave later or I should disclose and go for pregnancy leave before my exit date . Please provide suggestion if you really aware of policy or know anyone in your contact who knows policy . Thank you
