Thank you all for your replies !
I just want to highlight that I did not open this topic to discuss about my insurance or financial status. I think many of you don't know how European laws work nowadays, so let me be the one being concerned whether is legal to benefit the maternity leave while being a resident of another country- which btw it is, with the condition of not getting another job in the meanwhile. There are a lot of health insurance, and I do not mean the travel ones here, that cover all kind of services outside the country where they were signed, with some restrictions of course, but still better than nothing.
 
Once again thank you all for your replies, it pretty much helped us to make a decision. Hope it will turn out well and in time . 
 
 

It's my understanding that she has purchased a private insurance to supplement what is covered by her Romanian insurance.  For a price, private insurance will cover anything and everything.

TO said that the insurance is her least concern, why do people keep telling her it's not? There are some private European insurances that cover healthcare in the US, they are costly but still cheaper then US insurances.
I know this is a different case but I wasn't even aloud to terminate my Dutch health insurance while I was on an F-1 visa.  And if I was pregnant they would have covered 100% of the cost, I only had to pay an extra $ 5 a month for world coverage.
Bottom line is we don't have the information the TO has, to tell her whether her insurance is going to cover or not. That's something she has to figure out with her insurance company.
 
As for maternity leave, I don't know about the rest of Europe but even if you migrate to another country you still can claim certain social security benefits. That's not based on whether you are immigrating or not, it's based on your previous work history. And yes this is perfectly legal.
 
TO, I have no advice about which route to take, but hopefully you can find a way to this legally and in a short period of time. Being separated from the one you love sucks. I don't know which one would be faster the K-1 or the CR-1 but it seems those are the best options.
 
Good luck and congratulations with the pregnancy.
