Also airlines won't let a pregnant woman travel at that point
-
A quick internet search suggests 36 weeks (eight months), which is well into the third trimester, is the most common start of restrictions, and many airlines will accept a doctor's note the woman is low risk even past that. It was a 2008 election blip when the media got ahold of Sarah Palin flying while in labor because she wanted her special-needs baby delivered by the medical team that had prepared for him, which suggests even the written restrictions in airline policy are not consistently enforced.

If a doctor clears you, they can't deny it.
-
Sure they can. "My doctor said I can!" Well, they say you can't. Why would a doctor's note get you on an airplane?
-
It would shed the liability from the Airline.
-
I mean, sure, maybe in the ensuing lawsuit they could be like hey, her doctor said it was cool, but it doesn't change the fact that there's a baby being born on an airplane in transit. Nobody wants that, airlines will shut that down, and it's not discrimination, it's just a good decision.

Is that true? Sounds kind of discriminatory.
-
sounds more like they don't need a medical emergency mid flight aka 10km above the ocean

Certainly you can, but a lot of hurdles to restrictions. And most obgyns won't approve you if you have any risk factors.
