Caro is right - it is really important that your methadone prescriber is aware of your partners pregnancy as soon as possible, so as she can get the most appropriate care (ie: dose / support services). Methadone treatment during pregnancy is very common and there are support services in all major cities to care for the mother and newborn directly after birth. The prescriber/ treatment agency will be able to give you this information.
Also, NA may be an avenue to go down to seek other couples who have gone through this. I am not sure if you are an active user - if so your local needle exchange may be able to link you into a support group. If your not a user - family drug help line is a good resource for links to support groups/ Q& A. Otherwise, your states drug and alcohol information line have a huge data base of different services/ support groups offered in your area.
