Are pregnant mummies considered part of vulnerable group during this covid pandemic?

I’m currently pregnant and our company is already requiring us to go to ofc after the heightened alert is lifted, I just wanna know if pregnant mums are considered part of vulnerable group? And was there any gov rules regarding employers allowing us to work from home if we can?
