It is a terrible predicament, and you have to make the choice with nobody else helping you, at the birth, do you save the Mother or the Baby? No other choices, just that.

I think I would have to save the mother, she could have more children. I'm glad I would never have to answer a question like that for real, great question. :-)

I would choose the mother over the child until the moment that child is actually born. Once the child is born, then logically, it is more likely that they will live many more years than the mother has left.

The baby. Sorry, but the mom had her life and now it's the baby's turn at it. Not to sound so harsh, but that is a harsh question.

Save the mother. Losing a child is a horrible thing whatever the situation and I would never want to deny the existence of an innocent life, but i would just rather save the person who is still needed by her family and friends.

depends on who has a better chance to live and what can be done in such a short amount of time

Hmm...If the mother was conscious, then I'd ask her to make the decision. If not, and she was in labor, then I'd do what I could, to save the baby. It would probably be unlikely for me to be able to get her back once she was unconscious.

Worzel....as you know my friends just went through this scenario...well sort of anyway. My choice would have to be mother because without her baby stands little chance anyway...thats taking into account there is no other way to care for the baby. Thankfully no choices were needed in my friends case because baby was 3 months early but otherwise healthy and mum had 10 units of blood but Im happy to say is doing fine now :)

in short: you can always make another baby, but there is only going to be one mother to make another baby. i'd save the mother

My partner and I have actually discussed this quite seriously. I have had some serious complications during my pregnancy that place me at risk of having a complicated birth that could result in my death. We both agree that the lives of our children come first, before our own. I would do anything for my children, including giving them the chance to live if it meant I had to die. I don't doubt that life would be incredibly hard for my children and my partner without me, but I know they would make it.
