12 Disgusting ‘Baby Daddy’ Comments In The Delivery Room Turned Into Inspirational Quotes By This Nurse
Interview
You’d think that more people would have respect for their partners when they’re giving birth. Unfortunately, the miracle of birth isn’t always the perfect and magical moment that you imagined it would be. Frankly, all it takes is a single phrase to turn a beautiful experience into something confusing when your partner starts criticizing you or even shows that they don’t much care about the entire miracle.
A labor and delivery nurse, who goes by Hollyd_rn online, poked fun at the inappropriate, misogynistic, and downright bizarrely unsupportive things that new fathers have said in the delivery room as the loves of their lives were going into labor. In a series of TikToks, Holly turned the quotes into ironic inspirational quotes that have captured the internet’s attention and are a great example of how not to behave when a brand new person is being born into the world.
Bored Panda had a quick chat with a relationship coach about how some of the behaviors that Holly criticized can do more harm than just hurting our feelings and sense of trust. Meanwhile, I also had an in-depth chat with nurse Holly about her videos. She told Bored Panda that she hopes her TikTok videos help bring positive attention to the unknown side behind the labor and delivery doors. She also pointed out that, in her experience, roughly 1 in 10 dads are unsupportive. Check out both interviews below.

That's often referred to as the husband stitch... which is just horrific. Imagine the tightness of your partners vagina being your primary concern after she has just birthed your child! I saw a great response to this recently when the female dr responded "and exactly how small do you need it sir"

I think no jury in the world would convict you if you'd castrated him on the spot.

I was exhausted when our first was born because my wife had been in labour for over 24 hours, so neither of us had slept in over a day. I can only imagine how tired she was. However, when they said the baby was coming, I've never felt more awake than I did at that time, no chance I could've taken a nap.

I'm going to remain in hope that the good dads will outnumber these bozos... let's keep on educating & inspiring for good.

Yeah, maybe you should go and wait somewhere else, like inside an active volcano or on the dark side of the moon.

Someone PLEASE give these women the emotional strength to ditch these husbands. They'll be a single mom either way - the only question is how much extra s**t they'll have to deal with while doing all the parenting.

Otherwise known as "legendary last words". Where's that picture of the birthing chair with the holes for the testicle string? Suddenly I understand the need for it!

Can we acknowledge that pregnancy and the year after delivery there are high rates of mortality in women not just because of the dangerous enterprise but domestic violence and really the rates of murder at the hands of her romantic partner? Can we? Sometimes that gal needs help, real help, and what I read here are signs of that - small signs that he does not see her as a real person.
