I was bypassed for promotion because I’m pregnant. Is that legal?

No. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act protects pregnant workers (and workers with pregnancy-related conditions) not only from being fired from a job but also from mistreatment in matters of promotion, training or assignments due to their pregnancy.
