If your K1 visa has been refused and returned to USCIS then it will be expired and not reviewed. 

Yes, you can file again whenever you want to. Overcome the reason for refusal or you will be denied again. I suggest a CR1 and lots of visits. What did the 221g paper say as ? 

Ok ii wana file again k1 as its faster spouse visa..is it good idea??

Do you want fast or do you want a better chance of approval ?! As I said all returned K1's are dead on arrival but returned spousal visas get a rebuttal chance. It's your gamble. You may or you may not get approved with another K1. Nobody knows what will happen. Yes it takes longer but it's also cheaper in the long run because you don't have to file for AOS and can work right away and do not have to wait for several months for work authorization. You need to also overcome the reason for the refusal and get some visits for real face time in to prove a bona fide  relationship, not just chats.

Being pregnant is not an advantage in the eyes of the CO. It may even lengthen the process because they will ask for a DNA test.

Yes the spousal visa takes about 12-14 months.

You can apply for a tourist visa, but chances of getting one are slim unless you have clear and strong ties to your home country.  Her and baby visiting you would be much easier.  That being said, a tourist visa denial will not affect your CR-1 if you are truthful about everything, so if you have the money, it's worth a try.
