What to do if I’ve been working at my job for over a year and moved 120 miles away about 4 months ago but I can’t get a transfer?

I’ve asked the district manager (numerous times) but he won’t do anything to help me. Since I’ve moved Ive totaled my car and had to buy a new one and about 4 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant, and about 2 1/2 weeks ago I almost had a miscarriage. Driving 120 miles to work and 120 miles back isn’t healthy for me or my baby. Is there anything I can do?

If your pregnancy is in danger due to a medical condition and long drive contributes to that dangar, your employer may be compelled to provide you a reasonable accomadation, such as a transfer.
