Can I ask a woman at interview if she's pregnant or has any plans to have children?

No, you shouldn't ask any questions that aren't relevant to the job. Any questions relating to pregnancy, children and parental responsibility could cause offence and if she doesn't get the job, could be used as evidence that you discriminated against her, even if that was not the basis of your decision.
