There are no rules that prevent a player from playing simply on the grounds that they are pregnant. As a matter of fact, I worked a D3 game last year where the left fielder was about 6-7 mos pregnant. I was a little concerned, myself, about her batting, but I had absolutely no recourse within the rules to prevent her from doing so. I just worried about those inside pitches.
When she did get a hit, the coach put in a substitute to run for her. She only got the one hit in both games of the double header. Defensively, she did manage to snag several fly balls that came her way.
