Canon 6

About the possibility of immediate baptism for a pregnant woman who desires it.
About the pregnant woman: she should be enlightened by baptism whenever she wants, for the one giving birth has no communication with the one being born, because each of them reveals his own will during confession.
Greek original
Περὶ κυοφορούσης, ὅτι δεῖ φωτίζεσθαι, ὁπότε βούλεται· οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ κοινωνεῖ ἡ τίκτουσα τῷ τικτομένῳ· διὰ τὸ ἑκάστου ἰδίαν τὴν προαίρεσιν τὴν ἐπὶ τῇ ὁμολογίᾳ δείκνυσθαι.
