I recently had a baby and initially struggled with enforcing my rights as a pregnant employee largely cause as an IMG I was unaware of what they were. I didn't have anyone to inform me of these rights and in some cases i missed out cause of that. If you are in a similar situation working as an IMG in the NHS while pregnant then this should help.
