If a lady is pregnant, for her can this be said?
She had a baby in her stomach.
Or is it necessary to use the word 'womb' or "uterus"?

The stomach is a digestive organ and is totally different from the uterus. Women do not carry babies in their stomachs unless they are cannibals (eating babies). When women are pregnant, they carry a child in their womb or uterus.
You will, however, regularly hear people say that a woman's belly grows when they are pregnant, or that there is a baby "in their belly". And the word "belly" is sometimes used in a manner that is synonymous with "stomach", while at other times it refers to the external area of skin outside of the stomach. But "stomach" is generally used to refer specifically to the internal digestive organ, and it would sound (a bit) strange to say that a woman "has a baby in her stomach" ... although you'd still be clearly understood by almost any English speaker.

Stomach is used specifically to describe a place where food is digested, so it's not very useful for a baby. I'd use belly as a generic term instead:
She has a baby in her belly
Womb and uterus would also be okay, but these words are more "medical".

Stomach or gaster is a part of digestive system, not of reproductive system.
If woman had successful fertilization, we would use the term "pregnant".
The "baby in ones belly" would be in use when there are visible signs of pregnancy, let's say after 16 weeks of being pregnant.

Stomach or gaster is a part of digestive system, not of reproductive system.
If woman had successful fertilization, we would use the term "pregnant".
