613. Are you considered disabled if you are receiving treatment for an impairment?
If your impairment requires a prescribed treatment that is expected to restore your ability to work, you may or may not be found disabled. You may be found disabled if, despite treatment, your impairment or combination of impairments meets the severity requirement and is expected to last 12 months. You must follow treatment prescribed by your physician if this treatment can restore your ability to work. If you do not follow this prescribed treatment without a good reason, you will not be found to be disabled. You are not considered disabled if you refuse treatment without justification. If, despite treatment, your impairment(s) remain(s) sufficiently severe, you may be found disabled.

Does pregnancy qualify for Social Security disability?
I have not seen disability benefits be awarded in the course of pregnancy.
Social Security disability is meant for long-term disability. As part of this, note there a five-month waiting period before Social Security disability benefits start. The five month waiting period ensures that during the early months of disability, the SSA does not pay benefits to persons who do not have long-term disabilities.
