It’s not that easy to just know how parenting is going to work the first time around. You can be lactating prior to delivery and then dry up for no reason. Even worse, your baby can decide not to latch or be tongue-tied. If your husband isn’t on hand to run to the store from the hospital, things can get challenging.

We had to worry about my wife dying because they wouldn’t suggest a C-section and we didn’t think to ask for one (her induction didn’t take for several days). We’re quite confident they’d have let her die before suggesting one. Thankfully, we thought better in time.
