When my husband and I decided we were ready to become parents, we quickly learned that getting pregnant was the easy part. The pregnancy wasn’t too difficult either.
The worst part was anticipating the birth. Knowing that the baby was going to have to come out somehow. I tried to decide which path would be best. [...]

My husband Steve and I were supposed to have set up the birthing tub [...]
