A woman and her husband are planning to have children and are discussing important decisions before trying to conceive. Two major topics of conversation are who will be in the delivery room and who will help with childcare after the baby is born. The woman is adamant about her preferences, but her husband disagrees, leading to an emotionally charged debate.
