1980s. A man (he's blond) is a womanizer. As punishment for the way he's always disrespected women, or some sort of reincarnation, he BECOMES a woman & is to live a new life in this woman's body.
The woman looks like Crystal Bernard from "Wings" but this movie isn't listed on IMDB under her name. I cant remember the male actor's name.
The woman gets pregnant.
She DIES during childbirth, from complications due to diabetes.
I saw this movie when I was very little, maybe 6 years old, but I will never forget how scared I was to learn that women can die when having babies. (Of course now I am a wife with a new baby on the way, and I'm well aware of the %s and reasons for death during childbirth...I'm over this fear)!
I'm trying to figure out the name of this movie, so if it rings bells for anyone, please let me know! I've been thinking about it for about 20 years!
Thanks :-)

Could it be "Switch" with Ellen Barkin?

I agree that it sounds like a mixture of "Switch" and "Steel Magnolias".
Ellen Barkin doesn't look like Crystal Bernard, but they're both blonde. "Switch" is a remake of "Goodbye Charlie", but Debbie Reynolds doesn't look like CB either. Besides, when Charlie dies a second time in the latter film, he comes back as a dog! It's been awhile since I've seen "Switch", so I don't recall that happens in that version.
Could you have two movies mixed up? The diabetes is a factor in "Steel Magnolias" but is way too serious a situation for the two comedies. I vote for the possibility that you confused parts of the movies, which is highly possible.
