include maintenance for the pregnancy, since it is due after the marriage has ended. According to the stronger of the two scholarly views, it is owed to the unborn child, like payment for breastfeeding. According to the other view, it is owed to the wife on account of the pregnancy and thus falls under spousal maintenance. The correct view, however, is that it falls under maintenance for relatives, like payment for breastfeeding.
The exception is where the waiver was intended to ensure that no claims would ever remain between them after the marriage. If that was the case, and they intended a mutual release such that no claim of any kind would remain for the Hereafter, then this includes waiving maintenance for the pregnancy.

يَدْخُلْ فِي ذَلِكَ نَفَقَةُ الْحَمْلِ؛
لِأَنَّهَا تَجِبُ بَعْدَ زَوَالِ النِّكَاحِ وَهِيَ وَاجِبَةٌ لِلْحَمْلِ فِي أَظْهَرْ قَوْلَيْ الْعُلَمَاءِ:
كَأُجْرَةِ الرَّضَاعِ. وَفِي الْآخَرِ هِيَ لِلزَّوْجَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْحَمْلِ فَتَكُونُ مِنْ جِنْسِ نَفَقَةِ الزَّوْجَاتِ وَالصَّحِيحُ أَنَّهَا مِنْ جِنْسِ نَفَقَةِ الْأَقَارِبِ كَأُجْرَةِ الرَّضَاعِ.
اللَّهُمَّ إلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْإِبْرَاءُ بِمُقْتَضَى أَنَّهُ لَا تَبْقَى بَيْنَهُمَا مُطَالَبَةٌ بَعْدَ النِّكَاحِ أَبَدًا فَإِذَا كَانَ الْأَمْرُ كَذَلِكَ وَمَقْصُودُهُمَا الْمُبَارَأَةَ بِحَيْثُ لَا يَبْقَى لِلْآخِرَةِ مُطَالَبَةٌ بِوَجْهِ:
فَهَذَا يَدْخُلُ فِيهِ الْإِبْرَاءُ مِنْ نَفَقَةِ الْحَمْلِ.
