Why do some men choose to save the baby over their wife? You only have one wife and you can make more babies not vice versa.

Those kinds of choices are never as black and white as statistics. It’s never going to be a clear decision where one survives and one doesn’t, there’s going to be a lot of factors that affect the chances for both in a variety of different options for attempting care. The doctor’s professional opinion is also a huge part of deciding what happens. Many doctors simply suck, and don’t prioritize the woman when stating their options. Others are afraid of legal repercussions if things go south

If you have to lose one or the other it should probably be her choice but if she can’t chose(coma or something) then I think you should use your best judgement and decide what she would want

Probably religious or different moral beliefs from your own. I am pro choice but unlike many I realize the other side has a legitimate perspective as well

Never let your wife die. What'll she say when she gets to the afterlife? That she lost a fight with an unborn child??

Unless she told you to save the baby, what does “use your best judgment” mean?

Try to think of what she would want me to do. Or just before she goes into labor or whatever it is going on, ask her if something happens what should I do

Thats not a question you ask right before labor💔 you discuss that long before, sad that couples dont And also its very dangerous to assume what she would want because most women dont even speak fully on the pain of pregnancy Im pregnant right now and its so disheartening to see this respond

I didn’t mean right before labor, but I’m sorry but I’m honestly not sure what I should say. I’m nowhere near the point in life where I’m ready for a wife and kids, I dont know what any of that’s like. I’m not fully qualified to answer your question because I’m not to that point and I’m also not a woman. Sorry if I made you upset but that was just my quick thoughts.
