      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 once, very stupidly, shared that video with a mother who had recently been estranged from her young child.

        It was a bad decision on my part and, unsurprisingly, didn’t go over well.
