The people who fired you will have a different story. They'll claim it was because of job performance.

The "Pregnancy Discrimination Act" amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions constitutes unlawful sex discrimination under Title VII, which covers employers with 15 or more employees.

You can take this up with the Texas Workforce Commission:
