No, it is not pregnancy or sex-based discrimination: it is because you have evidently scheduled maternity leave during the last session. This is not because of you being a woman or being pregnant: it is because of your leave, and is no different from not allowing someone who had scheduled vacation during that period of time to participate. It is schedule-based, based on what you write, not based on the fact of being pregnant.
