Today, I was called to be told I'm fired for not showing up for my shift. I guess she didn't check her voice message to see that I gave birth last night. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired for not being mature enough. I just found out I’m pregnant. FML
Today, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. FML
Today, I got fired during my maternity leave for requesting my unpaid wages. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Today, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML
Today, my boss had to leave the house for a little while. She asked me to take any messages she got. I answered the phone and lady calling said she was returning her call about the opening for a nanny position. I'm the current nanny. I found out I'm being fired by the new nanny. FML
Today, I got a call from the office telling me I was fired. When I asked why, my boss explained my mother called and told him I was in a "weak mental state." She thought she was helping me get off for my birthday. Now I have no job. FML
Today, I got a call from my employers wanting to ask why I had a no call, no show for today. My supervisor reported me for not showing up to work. It's my day off, and also my birthday. FML
Today, I was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML
Today, at work, someone heard me throw up. I then got called aside and told being hungover at work is unacceptable. I don't drink. I'm pregnant. FML

I smell a large lawsuit giving you enough cash to send your newborn to college! Congratulations on the baby!

Just tell her (to check her voicemail/missed calls) and everything should be fine. That or something happened to it, in which case you could still clear it up with a doctor's note or medical form to prove where you were.

File a wrongful termination suit OP.

Why do you even have to work this far into your pregnancy? Over here you are at home 6 weeks before when you're due and 8 weeks afterwards. With normal pay. The laws in the US are so crazy and I feel so sorry for all the expecting mothers (and all the other women who are ****** by the laws).

She could have chosen to continue working. Unless she had a doctor tell her she had to be on bedrest, there's no reason she wouldn't choose to keep working until she's due. It's actually not uncommon for mothers to work up to their due date - or even until they give birth - and then just use all of their maternity leave after their child is born.

Hey y'all OP here. So I was actually early with my delivery. 2 weeks to the day. I have a beautiful set of twins now! One boy and one girl. Happy and healthy. I work for a supermarket. And my department manager was the one that called me not my human resource manager. My father also works for the company and explained everything to her. So my dept manager was suspended for wrongful termination and I have my job back with a raise that starts the day I go back. Thanks for all the support and helpful thoughts :)

NJ FMLA protects your job 4 weeks before your due date, plus 6-8 weeks after delivery, under the disability policy - plus you get paid from the mandatory disability insurance. Then plus you get another 6 weeks bonding under family leave insurance. If your employer didn't tell you this, go to the state's website and apply for your benefits! Then report your employer for not posting it as required by law.
