I work for a big multinational, it's been always very busy, but manageable within the regular working hours, however recently a few people left and it has been announced by the management that no cover is planned. Moreover, there's a few extra projects going on. I got pregnant and I feel sick all day, however I go to work and try to do my best. I work really long hours (overtime is not paid) and at the end of the day I feel exhausted. Whatever I do is not enough for the management, every day there's something they don't like, they want me to process, manage and do the job of 3 people. I asked for support a few times, I escalated the fact that we lack resources etc but they are deaf and their only response it that I have to put some extra effort. Of course they know about the pregnancy.
My question now is whether the employer has the right to make me do extra hours when I'm pregnant? I am really worried about the baby now, I have no time to rest, I'm constantly stressed, I'm really concerned that it might affect the baby...
