First thing I would do is to check your contract to see what it says about changing work hours.

Are you in a union? If not phone acas for advice. I'm really not clear on the law in the UK, but I think you have the right to request flexible working, although they do not HAVE to give it.

How awful for you :( It is hard enough being pregnant without having this stress to deal with as well. How many weeks pregnant are you?
I wonder if you could speak to Citizens advice bureau about your rights / what you can do? It seems wrong for them to suddenly change your hours, these weren't the ones you agreed to and they make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to even be able to get to work. Maybe you have some rights you could argue for that CAB could help you out with?
Maybe also it would be good to post this in the Employment section of mumsnet because there might be someone there who knows about what your rights are / how you can respond to this.

Like others have said, check your contract and speak to ACAS. My last employer changed my working hours without giving enough notice. I got advice from ACAS and found them to be in breach of my contract.

As well as speaking to your union, you should speak to occupational health. A note from occupational health might have more weight because your employer is not legally allowed to put your health at risk.
