The answer

The waiting period for a pregnant divorced woman ends upon delivery. She is permitted to go out during the day to attend to essential needs, but it is forbidden for her to spend the night outside the marital home where she resided before the divorce, until she gives birth. You have acted contrary to what is prescribed by staying with your family and abandoning the marital home.
