The Waiting Period of a Pregnant Woman After Death

Question
Does the waiting period of a pregnant woman who is in mourning end with the birth of her child, or does she complete 4 months and 10 days?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The waiting period of a pregnant woman ends with the death of her husband as soon as she gives birth, even if the birth occurs moments after his death, and God knows best.
