Yes. Almost exactly like that. I was finally diagnosed and treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I was diagnosed with Chronic Acute Migraine Syndrome which, in my case, and it sounds like in your wife's case; is brought on by seizures. It took a battery of tests to find the partial seizures in the brain patterns, but they found them even though I was on dilantin at the time of my EEG. I highly recommend that you see a neurologist and get a second opinion. Topomax (topamax) was originally created for the treatment of pediatric epilepsy and look what it has done for the migraine community.
Once I was treated for the seizures, put on a regular dosage of antidepressants (for me) and then treated for tension and muscle spasms regularly with massage therapy, my migraines became completely manageable again.
I still suffer from the #!*? things, but at least they aren't as frequent or severe.
How are you?
Yes it is quite possible that this is migraine headache. Migraines can be triggered by stress and pregnancy is a stressful condition.
The symptoms of migraine can often be confused with seizures and vice versa. This is very likely in your wife’s case more so because she has not responded to the antiseizure medication.

Good luck.
