baby cannot survive without mother until it is fully mature which is what we generally feel is around 32 weeks of pregnancy. this is when the lungs mature and baby can breathe on its own if delivered.
the statement of the doctor is stupid. This is because film people do not do their research before showing medical stuff.
seeing how geet does not have a 32 weeks stomach, i will assume that she is not yet 32 weeks. in that situation they have to treat the mother and monitor the baby. if the mother's oxygenation is improved, it will also improve the baby. there are times when we deliver the baby because ot could potentially save both mother and baby's life. this thing has been showed all the time in movies without sense and now the TV people are also doing so.

also adding to my statement, in early trimester pregnancy, sometimes abortion is recommended to save a mother's life. If that is what the Cvs meant then that is how they should have worded it. the doctor should have said that if geet dies , the baby will die; but if they have to save geet's life they will recommend an emergent abortion. then that is what maan would have to choose, whether to lose both or save geet with an abortion.
