Do you think this might be linked to your unborn daughter in some way? The fact that your wife's labour is one of the few concrete inevitabilities in the loop makes me think her birth is directly connected to the loop in some way. Is there a way to, I don't know, change the rime of her birth? You could speak to a doctor and get them to induce your wife's labour earlier; would that change anything? Who am I kidding, you've probably already tried it.
