I hope u will be confident now after reading the expert advice on solar eclipse.

Below is a small paragraph from the link above:

There is no evidence at all of eclipses causing fetal deformities or harming your baby in any way. Eclipses can be seen from many parts of the world and in many countries there is no tradition of avoiding going out during an eclipse. Here, there is a widespread belief that pregnant women should not go out during an eclipse, which means that often parents and elders may be very worried about your safety. Many women choose not to go out in order to avoid causing distress to their families. It is a matter of personal choice if you want to stay indoors or go out. However, if you are out, take proper precautions to protect your eyes if you plan to watch the eclipse.

There are many superstitious stories ... have heard from some where or other that it may harm the baby if a pregnent women goes out during eclipse ! Well not sure about the origin ... or reasons ...for such belief, but if your wife is so concerned, let her stay at home, esp its more important to make her feel relaxed and calm, than to get her out and let her worry throughout the pregnancy !
