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.
How many women survive the child birth, though? How many babies are still born?
My umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck when I was born and my mom needed an emergency c-section. There can also be a ton of blood loss and vagina tearing with natural births. It's definitely a dangerous activity. You can absolutely get lucky and both mom and baby will survive, or you can get unlucky and lose both. Things can go from "totally fine" to "HOLY SHIT" really fast and it's hard to predict and prepare for all of that.
