The tldr is some portion of pregnant women get a condition which makes their heart look like it needs to be shocked by the pacemakers defibrillator. This has not been accounted for in part because most women who get pacemakers defibrillator are elderly and so won't get pregnant. Besides that, testing devices on pregnant people isn't a thing (for good reason).
