关于这个问题,这里有一些解答:
http://www.settlement.org/discuss/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=378
quote: I am 30 weeks pregnant. I need advise as to what services will I be able to make use of on my arrival there. Will the three month waiting period for Health Card be applicable to me and the newborn? The 3 month waiting period will apply to you, yes. Newborn babies born in Ontario do not have to wait for this 3 month period.
When you arrive and need pre-natal care, you will want to contact a Community Health Centre. These centres provide health services, including pre and post natal care, and some of them offer services to newcomers who do not have their OHIP/Health card yet. Find out more here:

If you get private insurance, make sure that you ask what coverage is available and what is not, it is up to you to understand the features of any insurance you might buy. It is possbible that pregnancy-related costs will not be covered.
We also have some information about where you can find help as a pregnant woman arriving in Ontario (health services, support groups):

There are many organizations that provide services for pregnant women in communities across Ontario. You can find services and support in newcomer-serving organizations, community-based non-profit organizations, community health services offered by the city or regional government, community centres, and hospitals.
Some of these organizations may provide services to you even without a valid health card.
I hope this information is helpful.
