No. Employers may only ask employees if they are able to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodation. Any questions about pregnancy are against equal employment and ADA laws.

How do you have your paycheck put into your checking account?
If you would like your paycheck to be deposited directly into your bank account by your employer, so that you do not have to deposit it yourself, you can ask your employer to do that. (You will have to provide a void check, so that the employer knows which account to use.) Many companies, but not all companies, do this for their employees. Even if your employer does not currently offer this option, perhaps a new procedure can be introduced for the convenience of everyone. You can suggest it.
Why would a prospective employer be interested in your health?
A prospective employer may be interested in your health because many employers pay a portion of their employees' health insurance. Health insurance premiums may be higher if you are in poor health or a regular smoker. However, a potential employer is not legally allowed to ask questions about health during an interview.
