Unless your Dr is a majority shareholder in UA, his note holds no authority, just as UA's note to you authorizing your DR to give you heroin holds no water. If it comes down to it, UA would call their own medical dept vs an outsider who knows less about flying then our Dr. who specializes in flights.
That aside, you should have no problems with UA, but if traveling overseas, find out if that country has a poilcy. Many countries don't qwant you giving birth in their country (giving your offspring citizenship.)
