Agreed. The working while in labour anecdote is a personal decision of the female partner. It is inappropriate to co-opt it as an example of "toxicity".
I have also personally heard accounts of female lawyers working until very advanced in their term. But that is their choice.
If the "associate" wished to make a point about how females may be pressurized to perform to the same level as males, and may be disadvantaged by maternity commitments, this is actually a separate conversation, and in any case could've been worded much better than it was.
