Posted By Dave Merchant Medically there's no reason against it, as if they're following their training then they won't be exposed to any risk of infection, lifting anything heavy, etc. Thousands of pregnant doctors and nurses go to work every day, but close to term they may not want to be tied to the responsibility (if for example they need to be off work at short notice for obvious reasons, you're left without cover).
