Ask Dr. Dad

A: Childbirth.

Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she’s borderline irrational.
A: So what’s your question?

Q: My childbirth instructor says it’s not pain I’ll feel during labor,

Q: When is the best time to get an epidural?
A: Right after you find out you’re pregnant.
