When someone is vitally concerned about a subject they can spout a lot of information about that subject. In Exodus, chapters 35, 35, 37, 38, 39and 40 God gives exact and detailed instructions for building His place of worship. How detailed? God has the exact dimensions and material for the tassels on the temple curtains.
And laws? God has chapters filled with never ending laws; they go on for pages and pages and pages. Apparently God's got a lot of interest in laws for living ..................except for marriage.
Other than in Genesis 2:24 telling man to leave the comfort of his mother and father and live with his wife God has only one other rule about marriage: God advises men not to cut the rations of the 1st wife if they decide to take a second wife. Exodus 21:10
And that's it. God never said "one man, one woman". He never said anything about cherishing the wife, or fetuses. It was specific, identifiable men in the New Testament, writing letters that had a lot to say about women, who got to boss them and what they could and couldn't do in a marriage........ not God.
So don't lecture women on how you think they should behave about reproduction. God isn't interested and you don't know enough about women, reproduction or family to play God

Song of Solomon 8:6-7: "Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave.

If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised."

Ecclesiastes 4:9: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?"

In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, ..."
