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.
Give her everything she wants and just reply “yes dear” to everything she says lol. Better to be safe than sorry.
I still reply 'Yes Dear' to everything she says, it drives her crackers when she's asking me a question :)

The mom shouldn't just use pregnancy as license to be rotten. I'm pregnant, and I always hate when people insinuate that now's my chance to walk all over my husband. No. We're partners and we always try to treat each other with love and respect, even when we're grouchy.
IDK, I was pretty irrational, a crier. It would be like I,was standing next to myself, screaming "SHUT UP!" And could not stop being irrational. Totally uncontrollable verbal diarrhea. And sadly it took a very long time to get back to "normal"

I don't understand how we are so permissive about that. Does it happen in all societies that women are so moody they can't control themselves and become unbearable or even abusive? If it's everywhere and everywhen, maybe we just have to live with it. If not, these women need to really grow up and learn to cope. Movies may show that women act that way and everyone has to cow tow, but movies are just movies and often show people acting very immaturely and portray things as if they are normal when they are not, for dramatic effect.
This. This is the best one. You put it in there, you're sure as hell going to be there when it comes out!
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.

so..."this OBGYN gives annoying nonanswers and people are like 'omg such sass such sarcasm love it'"
