If you and your significant other aren't 100% prepared for the additional responsibility of having kids, do not have kids.

My oldest was born prematurely, required 8 brain surgeries before he turned 3 years old and as a result developed cerebral palsy. He cannot get out of bed by himself, cannot dress himself, cannot go to the bathroom by himself. He needs almost constant supervision.

No one can ever be prepared for a scenario like this but you need to know that this can happen to you too.
