A motion to quash or motion to excuse her from appearing at trial with a letter from her physician could likely excuse her from live testimony. That doesn't mean she may not be ordered to give a deposition in lieu of appearing at trial. Without knowing all of the details I cannot and will not give you a definite answer but it seems reasonable that she would not be forced to appear in court if it could exacerbate her condition or harm her pregnancy.
