can i leave my pregnant wife at a town for safety

[train cookie]

im planing on going into battle so im wondering if i can leave my pregantn wife back at a town and will she still give birth

Yes. You only need to be in the same place she is to get her pregnant. Whether you turn her into a permanent governor really depends on who you married though. Some wives have the right mix of skills to be more than worth keeping in your party so you can send them off to do quests for towns/villages.

Just take her into battle she is tough!

If you have the option in your settings that allows for lord and companion deaths, then she has a very low chance of death in battle, like everyone else.

When your kid is born, the game determines what happens - a health baby is born, two healthy babies are born, the baby is stillborn, or your wife dies in childbirth (healthy baby). If you're really worried, uou can load a save before the birth if you get an outcome you don't want.

Yep. She's not going to wait for you to get back.

No don't dismiss, if you are in the inn or in the keep in top right corner next to portraits of characters that are there, you can use click a plus sign for an option "leave character here".

I don't think leaving your wife in a town will keep her safer though. But I guess it depends how you want to role play it.

All is a die-cast probability

As governor/guest in a settlement:
Pregnant wife can still die during birth and/or loose the child.
The child can survive even if his mother dies.
all the above have LOW probability, most of the time all is good.
-

As a fighter, on her own or at your side:

1 Even if not hurt and kept behind, it has a chance of loosing the child/ die in pregnancy: a medium/high chance

2 If wounded and/or has to recover:
Highest chance of death of both mother and child.

-

Solutions:

Remember the time she got pregnant.
Save before the date of birth.
Do not do anything important, live her in a settlement (any settlement), you just moving around, auto-safe small battles, and...

If death is the result;
reload until is all OK
could be some 5 to 20 reloads.

But she and child will be OK !
-
Or just use a specialized mod ...

Yes

Another thing to note, if you get an unfavorable outcome, save scumming does potentially change the results if you don't mind doing that. It didn't used to apparently, but it does now.

I've knocked out my pregnant wife so many times during tournaments.
