You must contact local obstetricians to see if they are willing to accept you as a patient and whether they accept private payment for 3 months. You will also have to pay for any testing or potential hospital stays/visits.

Also for those 3 months I would recommend to get at least some coverage.
Since you've mentioned that she is already pregnant, there is only one insurance plan that offers Pregnancy Complications Insurance, which is a part of a regular Visitors to Canada Insurance Plan for Returning Canadian residents and Visitors provided by Manulife.
Such coverage is valid up to the 31st week of pregnancy and it will take care of the costs for pre-mature birth, bleedings, abdominal pain, miscarriage, etc.

You will have to look at the policy but your ability to get coverage may depend on whether you've had previous issues with pregnancies like multiple miscarriages.
