You and your dependants will need to leave the UK on or before 20 March 2019.

You can apply in your home country for a new Tier 4 visa for the new course. Assuming your new course is one that allows students to have dependants, your wife and child can apply as your dependants.

For further advice, I recommend speaking to the international student adviser at your university. They can also refer you for immigration legal advice if there are real and compelling reasons why someone in your family cannot leave the UK on or before 20 March 2019. This would be compelling medical reasons, not simply the fact that it is inconvenient for you to leave the UK to make your new application. An immigration adviser can advise you on the very high costs of an outside the rules leave to remain application, plus immigration health surcharge.

It is highly critical you need to contact your university visa team. As your wife's delivery date is barely a month, you need to check with the airlines if they will allow your wife to travel. Airlines have specific rules on allowing passengers at the late stages of pregnancy. You have only few days to make a decision.

Why are you thinking OP's wife needs to travel urgently while still pregnant? OP's course doesn't end until 19 January 2019, and he and his dependant have leave to 20 March 2019. This allows time for the child to be born in late Jan or early Feb, and for OP and family to leave the UK before the end of his Tier 4 leave on 20 March.

A bit of overthinking in my part after reading OP's query. Since OP's visa expiry and child due date are quite close, and OP has plans to apply for another course (pay fee, get CAS, maintenance amount, apply for visa, etc.), I thought it would be too much for one to handle. Air travel for newborn less than two months old is not advisable. Passport requirements for newborn, OP has to check with their embassy. Time is very short, so I thought it would be better to halve the emergencies at hand and focus on getting visa.
