(1,336 posts)My sister was pregnant while living with hubby in Illinois. My mother travelled down on her due date to be with her and take care of her 2-year-old son. Five weeks later, and in agony because of the weight she carried around, she finally gave birth to a 10 1/2 lb baby girl. The Catholic obstetrician, who knew she was in dire straits, refused to consider a Caesarian (against God's will or something to that effect). Sis lived with severe back problems and constant headaches ever after.
When I got pregnant several years later, I had a Catholic doc in Toronto and hubby straight-out asked him "Who comes first, my wife or the baby?" The doc answered correctly. Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage and subsequent D&C (which of course cost me nothing because...universal healthcare).
