An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OBGYN, has expertise in female reproductive health, pregnancy, and childbirth. And since there are quite a few folks who lack common knowledge in these areas, they are being asked every question in the book. And then some. Luckily, though, they also seem to have a good sense of humor to get them through it. This ‘pregnancy FAQ’ from a particularly sarcastic OB, for example, showcases how one might respond to the things they hear far too often. Before giving a legit answer, of course. The sign with these pearls of wisdom was shared on Reddit’s Baby Bumps thread by a user named YellowWoodenTable, whose legendary OB had it posted on their office wall. Whoever this genius is, they seem like the kind of person you’d trust with your intimate affairs.

There is something wrong with that childbirth instructor if she thinks childbirth is just a bit of pressure lol. She is selling lies. Also what the hell is a childbirth instructor lol. Not very often does childbirth go to plan, it is pretty unpredictable. That is why I think birth plans are a waste of time, you are more likely to be disappointed if it doesn’t go the way you hope. If you can handle the possible dissapointment then by all means do a birth plan but I personally wouldn’t recommend it.
This. This is the best one. You put it in there, you're sure as hell going to be there when it comes out!
When men aren't there they start thinking that childbirth is no big deal. They should be a part of the process.
I'd say it should depend upon her: I'll bet not every new mother wants the father standing right there watching her go through that, and she should be allowed to say so if that's what she wants. And if she wants you standing right there watching her go through that, that's damn sure where you should be!
I feel like it depends on your wife. If she wants you to be in the delivery room, do it to support her. If she doesn't, feel lucky that you don't have to be in a hospital room for hours.
The word doesn't mean anything unless it's been a certain amount of time being married
I think it's mean and probably unnatural to force husbands to be with their wives during childbirth. I wouldn't have wanted him there, truthfully. I didn't want anyone there. I wanted everyone to leave me alone.
In the labor room the nurse said look, you can see the baby's head. I almost passed out (it was also 3 am) so the nurse said no delivery room for you. So, I went to the waiting room and chain-smoked 40 cigarettes (please don't smoke) and my son was born. No smoking in hospitals now, thankfully.
If you want to survive next day and the divorce lawyer, you better haul your sorry a&? In there....
Unless you don't mind it being brought up every time you have an argument, no.
I'm with him....I didn't want to be there either. Good thing I packed a lot of snacks.
Silly parent...babies don't take showers...they take baths. They can't even stand yet..
i'm laughing because i'm imagining someone finding out they're pregnant and immediately going, "OH NO I NEED MY EPIDURAL OH DEAR ME"
Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth? - Yes, pregnancy. --- This is so true. A woman's body needs to recover for at least a year before starting on new pregnancy (2 after c-section), and there is a significant amount of women that moves on to another pregnancy within 2 months, even the lochia doesn't stop (supercringe) >.<
The Catholic hospitals withhold contraception information and the dangers of closely timed pregnancy. It's twisted.
