I think circle of life means the baby is born the same episode that someone big dies.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
From a narrative perspective, I think killing Jack leaves a bigger vacuum than killing Hurley. A lot of Hurley's funcitons could be taken over by someone else, but I don't see anyone else stepping up to be the counterpoint to Locke (as much as I like Sayid, I don't see him filling that leader role very well).
I don't think they'll kill the baby.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm not sure. On the one hand, this show hasn't shown anywhere near that level of balls yet, but on the other hand, babies are a PITA to work with on set. (So maybe it'll be born and then kidnapped.)

Heh, imagine if Claire had a KINGDOM style birth.

That would be AWESOME.
They've already got a dog...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But if the baby is kidnapped, isn't more or less as good as dead, what with the nothing to feed it? Unless there's another new mother on the island.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd assume that anyone kidnapping a baby for their nefarious uses has feeding plans in mind. You don't need a new mother to get a baby fed.
Of course nefarious might include sacrifice. That'd be cool.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I am having Romulus/Remus visions. Or, hey! that dude in Greek myth raised by a bear. We know the island has polar bears; we just have to hope that one of them is lactating.

Well, the psychic didn't say "another person ", did he?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's also possible that if Claire's baby has something supernatural about it, as some have speculated, it might not be subject to the same frailties that a normal baby would.
