    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    You did not write why did you stop fasting. Had you sent the question in the beginning of Ramadan with the explanation of pregnancy period and the later situation we would have written the ruling regarding keeping fast. As far as the matter of kaffarah is concerned, if your wife did not keep the fast, there is no kaffarah; it is enough to keep the missed fasts.
