There is not really a certain time period that you must have been together under EEA law although the UKBA may still try to apply a minimum of 2 years as a limit. Having A child together may actually help in this case.

If you apply now, she is exercising treaty rights as self-employed. If she plans to only study in January, she is exercising treaty rights as a student and will need comprehensive sickness cover for herself and any members of her family (ie: You and the baby). She will also need enough money to support the whole family while studying.
