It is very likely that you are not infectious. To be careful you may continue to wear a mask at home. You wife should consider getting vaccinated. Pregnancy is not a contraindication to Covid vaccination.

Breakthrough infection is still new so we do not have enough info to answer your question concisely. You did not mention if your pregnant wife is vaccinated or not. For common Covid-19 infection, the safest time will be after 2 weeks after a mild to moderate infection. With severe infection, the shedding time can be up to 18 days by the last report. If you wife is not vaccinated, wait for 2 weeks.
