to think that I should have at least had a warning before I was sacked...for being pregnant

Today I had my "booking-in" appointment with my midwife. Midwife took my bloods and everything was fine, until I passed out and started to go into a fit-like state. I went to hospital and everything was fine, I'd just fainted, but my Mum had phoned in work for me saying I'd been taken into hospital due to a fit.
When I get home, I recieved a phonecall from my boss saying basically I'm being letting go for my own benefit because they think its greatly effecting my health and that I am unreliable since I became pregnant as I couldn't do this shift and one other one last week. She made it out to be it was for my own benefit but apart from being a little upset the last few days (only found out I was pregnant last Wednesday) I haven't become uncapeable of doing my job as a waitress.
Am I being unreasonable to think I'm still perfectly capeable to do my job as I'm pregnant, not ill?

Aw wow, thanks. Think I'll ring up tomorrow. I'm currently just writing down everything I can remember so i don't forget and so I can go over it. This all feels so surreal at 19 lol.
