  When two people love each other very much, they can decide they want to go to a series of various doctors appointments where the mommy gets given new and exciting risk factors and complications and the other desperately tries to keep track of the paperwork.
  Then they have one final expensive doctors appointment and take home their brand new legal liability and tax exception, get ready for all of their new doctors appointments where everyone tries to sort the paperwork, skip sleeping for the next 6-36 months.
  Thanks to evolutionary trickery they will ultimately rate this experience quite highly, on average.

    I was so scared for my wife’s well-being and our finances when we went in for an induced birth.

    Turns out that, health wise, I came out worse than she did; and the whole situation had very little (immediate) impact on our finances.

    Also, I got lucky because we got an amazing kid out of the whole situation.

      We had premature twins with some common, usually benign side effects. The “emergency C-section” and “dual booking in the NICU for a month” was just a whole thing.

      If it weren’t for having good insurance it would have been financially unrecoverable.

    If you think that, I think you might understand pregnancy less than I.
