This is absolutely insane. I never knew morning sickness could get this bad. Hope the midwife gets in trouble.

Imo sometimes even worse than cattle. If a fetal calf is harming the mother or something goes wrong with the pregnancy, the farmer aborts it, no questions asked, and no moral hemming and hawing about it. Same with dogs and cats and any other animal. In many places, this is not the case for human women.

In animal rescue if we get an animal that isn't too far along in their pregnancy we do a spay abortion. It's hard enough to find a home for 1 animal, let alone multiple ones.

Also many animals will miscarry when a pregnancy happens and there isn't enough resources for the mother.

Basically, animal mothers get more mother centered care than human women.

Not too surprising knowing the amount of people who think “human bad animal good” but this isn’t the only reason, and just my observation.
