The best time to stop milking a pregnant dairy cow is when she is two to three months prior to her due date. This allows her a break from producing milk and to give her a chance to produce colostrum for her new calf. It also allows her to put her energy into growing a healthy calf prior to birth, as most of the growth of the fetus occurs in the last trimester of pregnancy.
