l posting here because l am hoping some of you climbing buffs can answer/add to my question over in the 'Pregnancy' section.
Please see:

Thanks.
Ok, l understand that being pregnant on Everest is probably not a common occurrence. This is a 'what if' question. I am wanting to see what people can come up with, even if it would never work. l am challenging people to use their imagination here, please.

If l got pregnant on Mt Everest or anywhere else for that matter I'd be pretty worried. But it would not be a good idea to go into an oxegen deprived enviroment while pregnant. To do so would be just down right unresponsible. I'd say it'd be risking damaging the baby in the same way as smoking or drinking while pregnant might.

l think that the lack of oxygen would be difficult on the baby. One may be able to survive, but the baby might not.

Due to the stresses one gets while climbing Everest, l would not recommend it. Everest is a difficult onus to tackle & it would be one thing over another for any pregnant lady to try. It just something that should not be tried for a pregnant women. They're under enough stress. Nobody, especially them, should even try this.

at that altitude, survival of the biggest chests.

If able to survive, babie girl will grow up with some
god-gifted platinum chests.

you can survive but l doubt you will do so uncomfortably. And you may not be physically fit to climb it either.
