More details to this question:
On Thursday 4/6/17 at approximately 4:55pm I received a text from a coworker asking me to come in early Friday at 8:00am to discuss a finacial document because she was getting on a call with the client and had some questions. I get in at 8:00am to discuss with her and then I was pulled into the conference room with two ladies. One was a finance manager and the other was some lady from an outside hr company. Two weeks prior I told the finance manager I was pregant. The finance manager is the one that told me that the company is letting me go not due to performance but that the company is eliminating my position due to workforce realignment. At that time I have been with the company 5 years and 9 months. They gave me a paper that said they will give me a severance of $4800 which is equivalent to 25 days wages if I don't sue them for discrimination or anything else. I find it convenient that 2 weeks later after I told The finance manager I was pregnant I was let go.

Very interesting..the first issue I see however, is that it appears that you told them of your pregnancy verbally...if that's the case they would probably deny that you told them..is it apparent that you are pregnant? Assuming they would deny your haveing told them is there any other evidence as to whether they knew you were pregnant? The next issue would be whether in fact there was a reorganization requiring the elimination of your job...what information if any do you have that in fact a reorganization has occurred and your job has in fact been eliminated? I take it you did not ask for a preganancy leave at the time you told them..did you request any accommodation due to your preganancy?......upon receipt of this information I should be able to advise you more specifically..
