Must employers in California accomodate my pregnancy?

Employers must reasonably accommodate pregnancies in California. These accommodations can range from allowing an employee to go to their doctors' visits, whether they be routine visits or visits with a specialist. They also need to accommodate any special needs in the workplace. So, whether there's a restriction to not lift over a certain number of pounds or an employee needs additional breaks to eat consistently or an employee has morning sickness and needs time to come in to work late, employers must accommodate those needs.
