Kaila

After receiving invaluable guidance and support from the volunteers at PTS during my own pregnancy discrimination case, I really wanted to support other women going through the same thing. I know how isolating it can feel at a time when you should be celebrating one of the most important moments in your life.

I began volunteering with PTS following the resolution of my tribunal hearing earlier this year. Since then, it has been such a fulfilling experience to support other women and mums navigating similar situations. Being able to share my own journey and offer reassurance, empathy, and guidance where I can has been truly meaningful.

One thing I’ve learned through my own experiences and now as a volunteer, is just how powerful it is to feel heard and understood. Sometimes, simply being there for someone can make all the difference. I’m proud to be part of a community that is working hard to create positive change for all of us.

Who we are

Our vision is a world where the mothers, parents and families of today and tomorrow thrive.
But the reality right now is mothers, parents and families are repeatedly failed by systems that are supposed to help them, systems which set up unfairness and disadvantage across a lifetime. This is the motherhood penalty, and Pregnant Then Screwed exists to challenge it.

Founded on International Women’s Day in 2015, we are rooted in lived experience and driven by fearless conviction. We challenge the systems that hold mothers back so that everyone who experiences motherhood can work and care without penalty. We campaign for change, offer support and advice, and build community with parents across the UK. We do this with power, courage and love.
