In need of insurance broker in TN

Im stuck in a really weird situation right now. My wife and I recently became pregnant, though she is not insured. We are both under 26 and therefore still were on our respective families insurance. Her father removed her in december without informing us so we missed the 60 day special enrollment window. Luckily my work offers pretty good insurance but it would require paying for insurance for both of us while im still insured anyways through my parents plan which costs nothing as my father's employer offers family plans that do not cost extra to add children. So open enrollment through my employer started today and I have 7 days to choose a plan or choose none. The only plan that they offer that has decent enough coverage for prenatal care and child birth will cost me $620 a month. My wife's employer does not offer insurance and TN does not consider pregnancy a qualifying life event. Im hoping through a broker we can figure out coverage for just her so we can continue her prenatal care to make it to November where we can find proper insurance during open enrollment. I have looked at private plans myself but I end up being spammed with calls and texts and every offer is some insane deductible with no coverage before the deductible is met. Worst case scenario im stuck having to go through my employer until next open enrollment but hoping there are other solutions.

Edit: way to many people are explaining that this is a preexisting condition. I am well aware of that. Im looking for a broker as my family was in a similar situation when I was in middle school and a broker, who has since retired, was able to get us on an aca plan outside of open enrollment do to our specific situation at the time. I am simply looking for help finding similar brokers as I know from my own experience that the rules are not so black and white and there is typically loopholes to this. I am aware that non aca plans will more than likely not cover her, I am not looking for that. Im looking for someone who can help navigate this specific situation. Furthermore no, I cannot do TennCare. We have applied and rejected multiple times as we make too much to be eligible as we make literally 2k over their qualifying income
