Is it permissible to have pregnancy and childbirth follow-up with the maternal uncle, given the husband's refusal and the occurrence of marital disputes that may lead to divorce?

It is impermissible to expose the major private parts in front of a maternal uncle except out of necessity. It is also impermissible to have pregnancy and childbirth monitored by a male doctor, unless there is no female doctor available who can perform the task adequately.
It is obligatory to obey the husband in refraining from being examined by male doctors. If a woman is compelled to see a male doctor, she should consult her husband, and his obedience takes precedence over the obedience of parents in this matter.
