I don't know that it's unethical at all. It's not really their business whether your pregnant or not until you get to the point that you can't work.

Totally agree with this ^^^. Do what you need to do, and your employer sucks for jacking with your schedule!

It sounds incredibly hard, and I know, because I have been in your shoes. You can do it! You can do it!

Well, congratulations on the pregnancy, at least. I wish you had more helpful people close to you. And that is fucked-up about your hours getting cut - I hate to be cynical but I wouldn't be surprised if it were a deliberate act on your boss's part to try to keep you at work longer.

You CAN do this. I just wish you didn't have to do so much...

Aw man, that's so tough. Not to mention possibly illegal on your boss' part. Pregnancy should make you a "protected class" and it sounds to me like discrimination. You should do a bit of research regarding the law, work. And pregnancy to see if what he's done is kosher or not. I'd also say you need to confront him and let him know how badly you need those hours.

Thinking of you and hoping for the best!

Definitely a baby then. And your boss is an asshole - I second the suggestion that you look into the laws concerning work, pregnancy and such, because while I'm no expert on the American laws, that whole thing he did sounds really iffy to me. If he hadn't known about your pregnancy he'd have a sort of excuse, but you told him and then cut back on the hours. Something is rotten in the land of Denmark...
