You might want to try feeding her inside her crate so she become comfortable with it. Also, it doesn't hurt to bribe her with treats. Say "crate" and toss a treat inside. When she goes inside, say "stay" and toss her another treat. It takes some time, but if you keep at it, it might work.
And congratulations on the upcoming baby!

^ That is a really good point that I didn't think about. I would let her walk into the crate on her own and if she doesn't want to then throw a treat inside. Only give her treats when she is inside of the crate. If you want to give her a treat for doing something set her in the crate and sit down in front of it and let her take treats while she is inside of the crate.
I wrote a blog post on my blog about crate training so if you want, check it out.
