I wish I believed that. My pregnancy went very bad, very fast at the end and my son had to be delivered 5 1/5 weeks early, by emergency c-section. I was told never to try to have another child because the same issues would come up, only much earlier and that I (and perforce, the fetus) would likely die.

Four years later, when I had a pregnancy scare, my own mother told me to my face that if I was pregnant, it was God's will. And, if that meant I would die, then that too was God's will.
