Unless there are other medical problems you cannot. Pregnancy is not a disability.
Depending on which country you live in there may be certain benefits you may apply for if you are pregnant. You need to check which may be applicable in your circumstances.

Your question can be interpreted in two ways, so I'll answer them both:

The first answer assumes you want to know how to apply for COVERAGE (as in, "How do I get a short term disability insurance policy?"). My advice is to contact an independent insurance broker in your area specializing in life and health lines of coverage (of which disability insurance is a subset) and ask them for quotes and advice. The National Association of Health Underwriters has a "find an agent" feature that may help in this (in related links).

The second answer assumes you want to know how to apply for BENEFITS (as in, "How do I file a short term disability claim with my existing disability insurance company?"). Most disability carriers make it very easy to file a claim on your policy. You should contact them to get the necessary paperwork, or if you went through a broker to buy your coverage you may want to talk to them instead. If you have coverage through your employer you should talk to your HR department or your supervisor on how to file a claim. Many group short term disability plans offer telephonic filing or online filing, which makes the process even easier.
