I do not claim to be up to date on everything in the medical field concerning pregnancy. It is sometimes inconvenient to carry the child to full term but there is no real danger to the mother’s life as long as she does what the doctor tells her to do.  My wife had to stay in bed and lay on her right side for the last two months of her pregnancy, her life was no in danger as long as she did what the doctor told her to do.  If she had insisted in going to work then her life and/or the child’s life would have been in danger.  Do we not open up a can of worms that would encourage an immoral physician to say that the mother’s life is in danger, so that she does not have to bear the inconvenience of the pregnancy and therefore kill the child?
