Assuming that you didn't sign a waiver of your rights when you were terminated (as is often the case in accepting a severance package), it sounds as if you have an excellent case against the company for pregnancy discrimination. My office primarily deals with these types of cases and we offer free consultations.

Given that you were awarded unemployment I can reasonable assume that your former employer was charged with an unwarranted termination. In addition, it appears that you may have a claim for violation of The Pregnancy Act. This is something that you should further investigate for possible compensation. Best wishes.
