Are you in the union? Talk to them or Citizens Advice Bureau?

What do you mean she's "trying" to take it away from you? What's she actually doing?

You can't be treated less favourably due to your pregnancy, that would be unlawful discrimination.

If there is a contract between you for x hours and your employer doesn't let you work those hours and refuses to pay you for them, they would be in breach of the contract.
