I only want to call the German version of CPS (Jugendamt) and fantasize of her being committed to hospital until birth, being made to exercise lightly and eat well, and then being forced to give up the child for adoption once born
Why DON'T you do this? Can't you call in anonymously? That's the case here in the US but not sure how it works elsewhere. Either way, you'd be doing a public service ;)

It'd do nothing. Smoking and being fat during pregnancy is not considered a serious enough threat to the child's health to interfere.

It costs her nothing to see a doctor and she'd even save money dieting, because eating less is cheaper.
But you can't make stupid people do clever things.

Yeah, but it very likely will. Health care is good in Germany - at 8 months even with complications the child's chances of survival are very good. As it should be. But its development will have been impacted by its mother's smoking, and the consequences will be felt its entire life. Just because mommy couldn't exercise the self-control to put the cigarettes away while pregnant. Not that it's easy to overcome an addiction like that, but most expectant women see not poisoning their unborn child as a powerful motivation.

Fat, smokes, can't climb stairs. It'll be dead soon.

Smoking is horrible for babies, but it doesn't always cause defects. Maybe the baby will be fine and can be adopted once born.
Or she'll feed it twinkies instead of formula (because hams don't breastfeed cause it ~ruins your tits~) and it will get beetus at age 3

Hopefully it miscarries and ends that poor child's suffering.

No sympathy for women who value their bad habits over their children's health.
