that nothing can harm her or her babies! The only times she expresses doubt prior to getting stabbed is when the Oaths are proposed. How many different ways does Birgitte have to tell us how reckless Elayne is? Hell in that very chapter she tells Mat how Elayne has a death wish bigger than his ego!

Not to mention Monaella already told her Channeling would not harm her babies.

And, it makes no sense that Elayne thinks channeling may harm her babies initially, then ignores this right when she has been injured and afraid for the very first time!
