in case anyone's curious: the worldwide birthrate is estimated by the UN as ~140 million babies/year. assuming an average pregnancy of 9 months and no disregarding miscarriages/abortions, that leaves ~105,000,000 pregnant women on the world at any one time.
According to this study there were 57.7 million people living with amputated limbs from traumatic causes worldwide in 2017. while this disregards birth defects i do believe that it's a reasonable assumption to say that there are indeed less amputees than pregnant women worldwide.
