"It's key to certainly have that in there and even provide more examples because what employers need to understand is it just doesn't mean someone is pregnant," Habinsky said.
"It is extremely important to have clarity as to what that means and giving examples is the best way so there isn't any guessing as to, 'Does this fit into the definition of pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions?'" he added.
