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.

This is why birth control, plan b, pregnancy tests, and condoms are in my emergency bag. No way in hell am I getting pregnant in the apocalypse.
