Look for other employment OR stay where you are!

You do not get to just decide you want to work certain shifts and demand that your employer put you into them. It is not your right to work the hours you want to work.

Pregnancy is not considered a disabilty for which your employer is required to provide accomodation.

The only way your employer would be required by law to change your shifts would be if you were able to provide medical documentation that your sleeping problems constituted a disabilty under the ADA AND that changing your shift would be a reasonable accomodation AND there were openings for positions that you qualified for on the shift you wanted. But even under the ADA, your employer is not required to:

1.) Give you the shift you want
2.) Give you the shift your doctor recommends
3.) Bump someone else out of their shift to put you into it
4.) Create a job for you
