:welcome: & congratulations
Firstly - do you already have access to the state healthcare system? If so, you just need to take your padrón cert (up to date) & SS documantation to the local centro de salud & re-register there.
If you don't already have the right of access to state healthcare, then it's correct that as a pregnant woman you are entitled to heathcare, regardless of your status - though I presume you're a registered resident anyway, if you have all this other documentation?
Again, take all your paperwork to the centro de salud & register. Be prepared to have to stand your ground though. It isn't always easy to convince those on the desk of your entitlement.

¿Qué ocurrirá con quienes no tengan derecho a la tarjeta?
Todas las personas tienen garantizada asistencia sanitaria básica aunque no cumplan los requisitos legales para obtener la tarjeta.
Si se trata de menores de 18 años, tendrán derecho a la misma atención que cualquier ciudadano español.
También esta plenamente garantizada la asistencia en el embarazo, parto y postparto.
En todo caso, se atenderán todas las urgencias por enfermedad u accidente.
