Legal Question in Disability Law in California

Let go while 7 months pregnant

I understand that a 7 month pregnant woman can be let go if her current position was eliminated. In this situation, the woman told her manager that she had a high risk pregnancy. The next day she was let go. Do you think she'd still have a good enough case to attempt to receive a better seperation package? Currently her severence would stop the same month her baby was due.
