I think that you really have to weigh out your options.
You could start paying into EI and take the year off paid (well at 55%). There is also the STRONG probability that you would lose all your clients and be starting over once your maternity leave is over.
OR
You could look into only taking a few weeks off and having the hubby take parental leave.
That is what my husband and I decided on. We are due in March with baby #5 - our last baby. It didnt make sense financially for us to pay into EI then lose all my clients who will be leaving in another year to start school anyways. I would rather start all over then and also have my full income coming in. My husband is great with the kiddos. His work thankfully tops up his EI so we will getting 100% for him to stay home. Not something we could easily say no to. He will be off for 7 months and be helping me with the baby while I run the daycare.
Its a big decision but definitely weigh out all the pros and cons.
Good luck
