I just found out that I will be laid off at the end of the month due to a larger headcount reduction at my company. I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and was set to start my maternity leave next month. The severance package includes employer-paid COBRA, but it doesn't cover my current medical plan, which means I have to find a new labor and delivery team right before my due date. I'm considering whether a severance attorney could help me keep my medical plan or maternity leave, but I'm feeling uncertain about my options. It seems like many people think I might not have a strong case since my layoff is part of a larger reduction. I'm hoping to get some advice on whether it's worth pursuing legal help or if I should just focus on negotiating with HR for a possible delay in my layoff until after I deliver.
