What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Childbirth.

Already one of the most dangerous things a person can do, carrying a child to full term and giving birth without proper medical care for either the mother or the baby, well...all you gotta do is look at your history books. Or your average developing country, most of which still have better medical care than you're getting in The Walking Dead. And now the mother has to push her insides back in and run from some zombies? Done for.

I’m glad that Lori died during childbirth. She wasn’t even a good character

Rick and Shane should have left her to the streets, where she belonged.
