2023. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he divorced his wife when she was menstruating, and 'Umar mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: "Tell him to take her back then divorce her when she is pure (not menstruating) or pregnant." (Sahih)
2023 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا، ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقْهَا وَهِيَ طَاهِرٌ، أَوْ حَامِلٌ»

Divorce can be given as the pregnancy is confirmed; there is no need for waiting until the delivery, because the confirmation of pregnancy leaves no doubt for establishing a family lineage. In this condition, the waiting time for a woman is until the delivery of the baby, during which the husband is allowed to take her back.
