Can Pregnancy impact existing sponsorship

[Shahzaib5478]

I work with a consultancy on a T2 sponsorship for a client. I have started recently on a sponsorship earlier was working on dependent visa.
Now I have come to know that I am pregnant. Can it impact my sponsorship in any way? Can employer in anyway pull out my Visa/sponsorship during my pregnancy? Is there any law to protect my sponsorship and not hamper my chances to continue on my general visa?

As for telling your employer, they are legally not allowed to discriminate against pregnant women. You will be entitiled to statuary maternity pay and maternity leave regardless of your immigration status. The maternity leave will not affect your sponsorship.

However, it is probably best not to tell them if it is such an early stage of pregnancy. Employers have been known to discriminate even if they are not permitted to.
