I got LASIK about 2 months ago and my vision is holding steady at 20/40 (was -3.00 in both eyes at first) I know that nothing can be perfect I'm not asking for 20/15 or even 20/20 but I feel that for the amount of money I paid 20/40 means I'd STILL have to wear glasses and that was the main reason why I got this done in the first place! At 3 months should I ask for an enhancement? I would actually be satisfied with 20/30 - 20/25 to be honest

By all means, have an ophthalmologist examine you. It is most likely a refractive error. You won't be able to have anything done about it until after your pregnancy, however. The vision may return to normal spontaneously (by itself) after the pregnancy.
Strabismus is usually associated with amblyopia. This is loss of visual potential that occurs in childhood when the eyes are not aligned. Most prudent refractive surgeons will only recommend LASIK surgery if the vision in the weaker eye is no less than 20/40.
