Your life or your baby's life???

There are mothers who have difficulty in giving birth. Some are real sick that giving birth is the same as risking their own lives.... If your doctor told you that you have to make a choice between saving your life or saving your baby's life, who are you going to choose?

I'll risk my life and save my baby..that will be the decision that i will make if ever i;ll be on that situation. i already enjoyed my life specially when i learned that i was pregnant. but since both our lives will be at risk i'll give my baby a chance to live and see the world and enjoy his life and leave him/her w/ his dad that i know will take care of him and love him.

Now, you know this is a difficult question to answer, especially for mothers..lol..But i would think that if and when that time came, i think that if the pregnancy isn't that far along, like in the 1 st month or 2, and the Dr. came and said that, i think some would choose abortion. I know it sounds bad and cruel and heartless, but the facts remain that if there was a chance that the mother was to get better and be able to have more kids in the future, then i would think that's what they would choose. But that is only my opinion. As for me, i already have one son and i don't know what i would do if i ever lost him. In some instances, a woman who gets raped, it messes up her body and she cant have the baby because of it(she got preggo from it)and the doctor tells her that she has to get rid of the baby or there is a big chance of one or both dying. So it really is a hard choice to make. But also in that given time, i think the mother would choose the abortion because they are afraid of dying. People don't want to die..it is human nature to feel that way. It is just a hard question for me to answer being that im a mom. I guess too many conflicts for me...But at the same time, it is a good question because i know that there are woman out there in those spots who need answers to help them out and make a decision. And there are others who are just curious to want to know what others would do in that situation.
