Bring your wife and her Dr. to your game. If she goes into labor, have her hold off until half time or between games. She's pretty considerate right?

Just a thought.

Other than that, I agree with the others. Don't risk it - don't take games. Many of us have had injuries, illness, family problems, etc. during the seaon. Basketball will be there when your done tending to personal and family needs. Health and family come first!

Your assigner has likely had children of his own; or at least a spouse. He'll understand and would rather schedule around you now than at the last minute.

I thought you were going to say, "...than lose you forever when your wife either kills you or prohibits you from officiating."
