No, the IRS does not consider pregnancy a disability.

However, you may be able to deduct them as a job related expense if they are required for your job. 

To enter your job related expenses in TurboTax:

  • Select Federal Taxes (Personal in the Home & Business edition).
  • Select Deductions & Credits, and in the next screen, click "I'll choose what I work on."
  • Scroll down the Deductions & Credits screen until you see the Employment Expenses group.
  • Click on the Start/Update button next to the Job-Related Expenses category.
  • Follow the prompts.

Please note that you can only deduct the portion of expenses that exceed 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. To find out more about the 2% rule, see the article below:
