    As a father and a husband—I’m only interested in the health, comfort and safety of my wife during childbirth. Those are the bottom lines. However we get there to a safe birth for both mom and baby is all that matters. Health misinformation does us all so much damage.

    Our lives are not owned—they are leased. You discovered this 20 years earlier than most people. It’s a gift.
