The disadvantage due to pregnancy leave is tricky stuff - even with best intentions. (Actually same for any other longer term leave). Especially if in the X months you are away, someone needs to step in as temp replacement because you're the only person of that role in your team/unit. Basically - where does that replacement come from? And where does replacement go afterwards? It's slightly less problematic if you're 1 of say 3 or more people in the same role in the team/unit. Though even when it works out (say if not temp backfill then you have another place/team/unit to join once you're back, or you weren't only person of that role). Various changes/pivots likely lead to you coming back to something completely different from what you left, if it's even determined what exactly will you work on once you come back.
