Teachers have always been allowed to teach when pregnant. The idea of a pregnant woman taking time off work because she's pregnant is a product of our current wealthy society where we can afford to 'carry' people while they're non-productive.
In 'pioneer' days women worked till they went into labor, then went back to work as soon as they could walk - the choice was work or starve for most people.
Early television had some very funny rules about what you could show, but they had nothing to do with society at large.
In England, for example, you couldn't show a toilet bowl on TV in an ad for toilet bowl cleaners until a few years ago - no idea who thought THAT one up :-)

The era of television was not "early in our society" :)
