Companies can't discriminate because you're pregnant but they can still decide to employ someone else because they know you will be going on maternity leave soon.

Depending on how far you are in your pregnancy, you are not actually at liberty to tell them in the interview that you are pregnant.

No employer will hire you if he knows (or suspects) you're pregnant.
The long period of maternity leave means he is actually hiring an empty space.
If you manage to conceal it during the selection process, he can still kick you out (without explanation) during the probation period.

But pregnancy is not a reason for firing, it is illegal to fire someone because of that.

That's what I thought too. Obviously the laws may be different in Finland

You don't need a "reason" other than "me no like" during the probation.

I though the original question indicated she would have been happy to take a temporary contract of short duration...?
