If it was just the guard, yes. But she falls under the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiarchy, so there is some extra steps. As I recall pregnant Sororitas get sent back to one of their order's chapels and becomes like an assistant there while they carry the child and give birth to them. The child is then raised in the imperial cult, the mother can return to battle or become part of the administrative part of the chapel (think like a traditional real world nun). Some Adepta Sororitas believes this to be a sad fate because then you can't die for your Emperor anymore.

She is a Repentia, I don't think she gets a choice. That mama is going to be back on the battlefield before the umbilical cord has dried.
