Although we're at a point in human history when we have the technology and training available to make pregnancy and birth go as smoothly as it ever has, it can still come as a pretty unpredictable time in people's lives.
Whether this has to do with the timing of the baby's arrival or the one-in-a-million occurrences that might have once seemed impossible, there's always a chance that a pregnancy can end with a little more adventure than expected.
But as one woman has known for almost her whole life, sometimes the adventure begins even before the pregnancy does. And without some help from a person who has now become very special to her, there would have been no pregnancy at all.
