Pregnancy and childbirth should be a happy and joyful experience. Unfortunately it can often be made stressful by encountering problems in the workplace.  At Russell Jones & Walker we often see women being sidelined as soon as they announce their pregnancy to their employer, or being selected unfairly for redundancy because of their pregnancy. There are also health and safety issues regarding pregnant women at work, and regulations to protect new and breastfeeding mothers returning to work. The return to work after maternity leave can be a particularly difficult time, and we often advise women whose requests for flexible working have been turned down without proper explanation or reason.
