Mylotters, this is a thought provoking question. Let's say your wife is about to give birth and you're given the choice between saving her life and losing your child in the process or the other way around. Who'se life are you going to save? please be honest as possible.

My husband and I have actually had this conversation and he said that he would let me live. Let me explain his answer as he explained it to me. He told me that as simply put as he could possibly make it, it would be very hard to lose a child, but if he had not already help that child, it would be easier than losing me because as much as he would of course love that baby, it had not yet been a real part of his life as I have been.He hasn't held it, seen it, etc., etc. I, on the contrary have always atated, with each of my pregnancies, that if it came down to a choice between me and the baby, I want the baby to live because I have already lived a life and if I am meant to go, then I am. That baby has not yet had the opportunity to live and grow and deserves the chance.

It's a very difficult situation, I can't even imagine myself having to make the choice. Thanks you sharing you opinion, the best way to tackle the situation is to discuss it in advance, if it would lessen the pain. But whatever the decision may be when that day comes, I can only wish them to have peace of mind as that decision would certainly haunt them for the rest of thier life.

Hi! My husband and i also had this discussion, and we decided together that he would save the baby. The reason for this decision is i have lived my life, and our child has not had that chance. The child would be part of me so he would still have a part of me with him forever. It would be a hard decision for anyone to make.

My husband has talked about this, and he says i would be first priority.
Not because he does not love his child, but he would not have bonded, if the child is not born yet, and i am his wife, whom he would not want to lose.
It is a situation, i would hope none of us ever have to be in.
