[quote=Anonymous]She needs to have a plan, with multiple “what ifs” factored in. 1. She needs a plan for pregnancy. What if: bedrest, extended bedrest, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, etc. Can she deal with medical, financial, work and household if a complication strikes. 2. She needs a birth plan, and needs to be willing to either call on friends or call an ambulance if she waits too long. (Nbd, compared to other what ifs, but ambulances may go to the wrong hospital.) 3. Post-birth plan: she needs to decide on childcare BEFORE she starts off, and if doing daycare, get on the waiting list asap. She needs a what if plan that encompasses complications for both her and baby during birth, special needs, etc. I’m not saying not to do it. But she needs to have a plan. Most parents don’t, especially not single parents.[/quote]
