Yes, if you are directly asked. Either way, do not lie. If your application reads "why did you leave your last position" you do not have a choice. You have to tell the truth. You do not have to volunteer the information if you are not asked.

Is it legal for my former employer to tell employers not to hire me?
Legally, they can say anything that is factual and accurate. They may tell a potential employer if you were "re-hireable." That said, there's a lot of businesses out there that don't know nor care about that, so they tend to say whatever they want to potential employers looking for references. No law prohibits a former employer from honestly reporting the fact you were fired. There is no possibility of a defamation suit for reporting a fact honestly. Whether you DESERVED to be fired is not an issue in a defamation charge, only whether you WERE fired. You were fired? I am free to tell everyone without liability.

How do you answer Reason for leaving last job when your reason was pregnancy complications that kept me from doing my job?
You need to be honest, motherhood is a joy. You have to tell the new employer that you discontinued as you were pregnant and your husband wanted you to leave the job. You can resume the job after your child is one year old.
Can your previous employer tell an employer that you were terminated?
There is NO federal law on this; it is a state-by-state issue. Never can an employer be sued for telling the truth, "Pat was fired 15 days ago", since that's true. In many states, a former employer cannot be subject to a suit for defamation for revealing even more details to a prospective employer. A growing trend is to extend "privilege" to the former employer for anything it says about your performance, attendance, or skill. Privileged communication means no defamation suit is possible. Washington employers gained that privilege last year. Check your state rules.
