I disagree, Mike. There may (MAY!) not be any additional legal liability - I'm not a lawyer. However, I think it's general common knowledge that at this point in a pregnancy, the mother should not be making sudden movements, especially any twisting motions. It's not necessarily additional liability for the umpire, but for the child. Facilitating this mother putting her child in harms way is almost as bad as handing her a drink or a cigarette.
