I asked my husband this before my c-section and he of course said he would save me first. It's a decision that noone wants to make though.

This is really a subject you should discuss with your wife since it is her life. You can look at this subject from 2 view points. 1 you love your wife, you are attached to her, you dont know this baby and could you raise a child without a mother? View 2, your wife has lived a wonderful life and learnt about the world and your unborn child hasnt even had a chance to expierence anything.
Truly every person is differ on this subject and only your wife can help you make that decision without you feeling guilty for the rest of your life.

I asked my husband this question before I went for my C-section. He told me he prefer to save my life becos he has not form an attachment to the foetus yet. In addition, with me, we can try for another baby. Without me, he would have problem looking after the baby on his own. Hence, he personally feel that the wife should be saved if not both.

This subject has came up before with my husband and he told me that if he had to make a choice then he would choose me..He said we could always have more babies in the future and that the babys life is never promised. He said he would do all he could to make it good for both but if it was a 1 decision then he would choose me.

I think that would be a very personal and difficult decision. I think the best option would be to sit down with your wife and ask her her opinions. That way, if the worst should happen and she can't express her wishes, you'd know. May sound morbid, but you have to be realistic about these types of things. Brings to mind the Terry Schiavo case. Had they sat down before, and had everything written out, there may not have been such a battle. Before my husband deployed, we had to sit down and discuss his wishes for burial and funeral should he not return. Its just life.

My husband always has said he would save me. Sad to say but you can always try for another baby, even though that situation would be devastating

Assuming she was conscious and alert, I'd ask her what she wanted to do.
If she were unable to communicate her wishes, I'd opt to keep her alive.
I made a vow before God and married her...not the baby.

That's sort of a stupid question now isn't it......
Unless you really don't care for your wife, and your thoughts are that it could save you divorce fees and alimony payments.....
