Is there any verse or hadith in this regard?

To clarify: Are you assuming the baby is dead, too? Or assuming there is a chance the baby may be saved if it is removed? – Flimzy Oct 16 '12 at 19:20

@Flimzy there is a chance the baby may be saved if it is removed. but if both situation is answered its better – Battle of Karbala Oct 17 '12 at 10:57
In Islam human life is very valuable. Saving someone's life is like saving the whole mankind. The baby inside dead mom is a separate human being. If mom dies the baby must be saved.
Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.
Surat Al-Maidah[5:32]
