I don't think they will discriminate on pregnant applicants for bridging, but you have to call them and explain your situation so they can better advise you on what to do. In the placement form I remember them asking this "Whether or not you are pregnant (this information is required by the health facilities)". If I have to guess, its more of an immigration(VISA) issue than institution. I got this from another forum: "Your being pregnant won't affect your eligibility for a Student visa however you will be expected to meet all attendance requirements for your course and your visa will be cancelled if you fail to do so. Your pregnancy could also affect your Student visa application if you are required to have a chest xray (because of your country of origin or if you intend giving birth in an Australian hospital), and are unable to do so. You will not be able to get any health insurance to cover the pregnancy and birth if you are already pregnant and if the child is born in Australia, your hospital and medical expenses will be very high. An uncomplicated birth will be in excess of $5000-$10000 and considerably more if there are any problems before, during or after the birth. Your child will have no claim to Australian citizenship and will require a passport from your country and a visa" Try to find an OSHC(Overseas student health cover) that accepts people who are pregnant already. Also an Evidence that you have sufficient funds for your school, living expenses including the baby(Childcare arrangements and funds for it) are required too.
