Yes, unless you were covered by FMLA. Walmart is an FMLA covered employer and you would have been an FMLA covered employee if you had worked for at least 12 months and at least 1250 hours in the year immediately preceding the bed rest. If so, then you would be entitled to upto 12 weeks of leave from work including for the bed rest related to the pregnancy.
