My wife was in labor 1.5 months ago after several false alarms and a baby whose heart rate frequently dipped in concerning ways. Losing the baby was a real possibility and labor started in full 3 weeks early. The baby was not positioned correctly and was very uncooperative during labor.
A couple of times the heart rate dipped below 80 when it should stay above 120. The doctors were getting more and more concerned with the health of the baby as labor progressed and stress levels increases.
Pushing started getting difficult and baby was showing more signs of stress so we started discussing alternative options.
Wife: worst case scenario is I get a c section.
Me: actually, worst case scenario is that you both die.
Until then I've never had two women (wife and nurse) give me The Look at the same time.
TL;DR I brought up the very real possibility of my wife dying during childbirth....DURING CHILDBIRTH.
Side note: baby is 1.5 months old and mom and baby are both happy and healthy (and not dead).
