My wife has her embassy appointment Jan 6 2020 at Thailand. She went to get her medical certificate but the Dr did not approve. 

5 months ago my wife had to see a Dr because her xray shows a spot on lung. She did tb tests and lab was negative but Dr put her on antibiotics for tb as a percotion.  So now her Dr said it is scar tissue not tb. 

But yesterday the embassy aproved Dr said they can't give certificate to go to US on IR1 visa till 1 year after medicine is completed. 

We don't know what to do. We have been aproved all the way to interview date but we can't get medical certificate. We are afraid we will lose our opertunaty and have to start again.

You will not start again. It just a matter of time for waiting until the treatment completed. After that, Embassy will issued the Visa.

4 more months our 1 year wait will be complete and can go to start sputum test which will be all done late Feb 2021.

But now my wife is pregnant and really want the baby to be born in the US. 

Is there anything we can do with the hospital or embassy to expedite the exam?

You can ask, but be prepared for an answer of "you have to wait the full year."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

YMMV
