But IN PRACTICE, a lot of employers would, I think, avoid taking on a pregnant woman as a new employee, which is understandable, because, for themself and for their workforce, this would mean getting used to the new worker and getting her settled in to their ways, then after only a few months, because of the birth, having to find a substitute.
