When Pregnancy Meets a Pink Slip: Why the Maeve Montgomery Network Exists
Despite laws like the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, pregnancy discrimination remains widespread:
• Nearly 70% of pregnant women are employed during pregnancy
• 1 in 5 mothers report pregnancy discrimination at work
• An estimated 250,000 pregnant workers are denied reasonable accommodations each year
• Job loss during pregnancy is linked to higher rates of preterm birth, anxiety, depression, and high-risk deliveries
Partnering With Purpose: How Brands Can Support Parents When It Matters Most
Building a Better System, Together
Supporting parents shouldn’t depend on privilege, or silence. It should be built into how we operate as brands, as employers, and as a society.
By partnering with wellness providers, mental health platforms, maternity care companies, and ethical employers, we are creating a network of care that shows up when parents need it most.
If your brand or organization believes in protecting families, honoring dignity, and doing the right thing, even when it’s hard, we invite you to partner with us.
Sign the Vow: Why Family-First Employers Win
We created “The Vow” to support a mission, a place for companies to take a stance and sign a public pledge to never lay off employees during pregnancy or the postpartum period.
Signing the vow is a smart business decision. It shows your employees that you care, and it reminds you that the people behind the paycheck are human.
Hi, we’re Maeve Montgomery. And we’re here to help.
