    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.
