My goodness, sir, if human babies were so very delicate that they could not survive five hours in the womb without food, humans would not be the rampant, dominating, earth-polluting, all-globe-encompassing creatures we are today. Your wife is fine. If she is not fine, it had NOTHING to do with not eating for five hours. How do you think mothers in drought-riddled, famine-stricken parts of Africa manage to have babies? Do you think they get to eat peanut butter every three hours?
