Depends when the maternity benefits kick in at the new company. If they don't kick in until you've been there a year, I wouldn't switch.

How is your support system for after the baby? That's my immediate question for determining taking a more stressful role when you're about to have a child.
Be strict with the hours. You’re not obliged to work over your contracted hours if you don’t want to. And be upfront with it. Tell them that you’re not contactable after 6pm and on holiday. If they squirm or moan, you know what to do.
Many times, maternity benefits only kick in if you have been at a company for a certain period of time. You should check their benefits carefully to make sure you would be eligible.
Agency life is the plague. Don’t do it.
Agencies will be around in 6-12 months, after you have had the baby and had maternity leave. You can then re-evaluate how you feel and what your priorities are.
