37 People Who Work At Maternity Wards Share The Weirdest Thing A Father Has Done
Everyone handles a hospital visit differently, some dread it, some are so used to it that it’s as normal as a trip down to the grocery store. When it comes to giving birth, the majority of attention is given to the person, well, actually giving birth, but sometimes, expecting fathers have a bizarre way of stealing the spotlight.
Someone asked “Maternity staff, what are the weirdest or wildest things you’ve seen from expecting fathers?” and people shared their most unhinged stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments down below.

My mother-in-law likes to tell the story of how my father-in-law, a lawyer, was in court arguing a case when she went into labour. This was the 80s, so no cell phones. All she could do was call the courthouse, leave a message with someone, and head to the hospital on her own.
The result was my FIL, an hour or so later, showing up on the maternity ward totally disheveled and still in his formal court attire, having run 15 blocks from the courthouse to the hospital the second he got the message. In my country, attorneys wear black robes, waistcoats, and funny little white tie/collar numbers, so he made quite the sight. But he made it in time for the birth!

My dad worked OB at a Detroit hospital for some time. After witnessing a black husband scream at his black wife for birthing a white baby, my dad made it a habit to tell first-time black fathers that their babies often come out *much* lighter than their parents.
That poor woman.
MoulanRougeFae:
I had a friend who was accused of cheating because her husband wasn't ever told Black babies are born pale. He screamed, threw things at her and threatened to [end] her because he didn't know. He was arrested at the hospital. She stayed with me for 6 months while working on divorcing him. I don't blame her one bit. No apology would ever make up for that especially after giving birth less than an hour previous. I never understood why mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters or friends don't tell Black men when they find out they are going to be dads that Black babies are born pale and get their skin tone a couple days after being born. It seems almost cruel not to tell them.

If these fathers-to-be hat put in the effort to INFORM THEMSELVES about what to expect, they'd have known. But apparently reading a book on childbirth was a bit too much effort. Screaming and dea.th threats are much less work, you know.
LuckyL 1 month ago
knowing of often black people aren't even mentioned in medicine books - maybe even if you tried to get more information, you wouldn't find out. And if you don't even know to look up what skin color a new born baby has - why would you. You research things how to care for the mother and the baby and what happens during childbirth.

Blows your mind that this is not common knowledge in the black community. I have no intention of being a father, but even through mild curiosity I know e.g. that newborn's heads may be cone-shaped due to their softness and being made up of separate pieces that eventually grow together; they don't come out clean and lovely. Like the mother they have just gone through a lot and its evident.
BoredPangolin 1 month ago
It probably was originally. Then the transmission of knowledge was broken when black people became a minority community in a mostly white population that doesn't bother with diversity. I'm sure a lot of new parents still know about it, but some are isolated from their historical and cultural knowledge from circonstances.

Our 1st pregnancy was a difficult one so while I worked a freind would stay with my then-wife to help her out. I was working on a phone line while on a ladder in the middle of an intersection when that freind came roaring up saying that she just took the wife, who wasn't due for weeks still, to the hospital. I slid down the ladder, dropped my tools right there in the middle of the intersection, told my groundsman he was on his own and booked it to the hospital. I wasn't going to miss this for the world.
When my 1st grandson was being born (even earlier than his dad! Lol), they wanted us there ASAP to keep my D-i-L's absolute nightmare of a mother out of the delivery room until all was done, and also (due to my EMS background) to help the understand all the medical devices and procedures that were going on.
Any father that doesn't step up and be there for their baby's mom is a punk.

Not necessarily. But even assuming that they are a couple, what's so wrong with a 3rd party as here referring to her that way?

My workmate went with his wife to the hospital while she was in labour.
He almost passed out and was splashing his face with water saying "I can't do this"
His wife called him out, said "you're doing nothing, I'm the one doing this, not you".
He managed to support her through it. .
payvavraishkuf:
My husband had to walk past the c section barrier to get to the heat lamp where they'd taken our son, so he could check the baby, cut the cord, etc.
Later that night he tearfully told me "I thought I wanted two kids but I saw your intestines today and there was so much blood and I was so scared!"

Yes, but those that do actually witness what their wife experienced and hopefully support her like the above man did. Especially since some idjits think a c-section is not a "real birth" experience and they took the easy way out.

Oh yes he would. A c section requires the surgeon to remove the intestines and set them aside to access the uterus to cut and remove the baby. Source: I've had 2 c sections and watched both times.

A relative who is a doctor told me this story about his first night on call as a GP.
He gets a 1am call from a man who had been at the pub and returned home to find his pregnant wife in early labour (about 32 weeks). My relative tells the man to phone an ambulance, then gets in the car and races out to the patient.
He arrived at the patient's house to find no ambulance. The father answered the door, looking pale, and says "she's had the baby, Doctor." My relative goes in and quickly ensures the baby is breathing, mum is OK, etc. Then, having discovered that the father hadn't phoned for an ambulance, uses the landline to arrange for an ambulance and a bed in the neonatal ICU. This was before cordless phones and the phone wasn't in the bedroom, so my relative couldn't see the patient.
My relative is on the phone when he hears the father shout, "Doctor! There's something else coming!"
My relative shouts, "That's the placenta, don't worry!"
A couple of minutes later my relative hears a much higher pitched shout:
"Doctor! Is it supposed to move?"
My relative drops the phone and races to the bedroom. It was an unexpected twin born inside the amniotic sac.
After stabilising the second baby, my relative then has to phone back to tell them he needs a second ambulance and *two* NICU beds.

I worked with someone who's partner took her to the labour ward, gave his mobile number to the staff and told them to call when baby was nearly there as he was going to wait in the pub.
He walked out and wasn't allowed back in a few hours later as he was drunk.
Anyway, they are divorced now.

I grew up with the idea, as portrayed on TV and movies, that the father-to-be would be waiting in a special room with others, when a nurse would eventually come in and announce "It's a boy" or whatever. Having never wanted to be a father myself I still find the idea of them having to be present at the birth itself a bit uncomfortable. So yeah, witnessing the surgery as well, I could easily see being enough to put them off the idea of having more children after that.

I dare say giving birth is more uncomfortable than witnessing it.

L & D nurse here. My favorite story: I went in to be the second nurse in a delivery. Mom was having her fifth baby. Gender was a surprise, and the couple had four girls already.
As the baby (boy) was delivered and the dad caught a glimpse of the genitals, he grabbed me, started jumping up and down shouting, “it has a WEINER! It has a WEINER!!”.

I am not maternity staff but after giving birth I developed post-partim pre-eclampsia and needed to stay longer at the hospital. The baby was great and she was allowed to stay with me. My husband wanted to go home to sleep in a comfortable bed. I told him through gritted teeth I could literally die, he doesn't get comfort. I think that really opened his eyes because from then on he has been amazing and supportive.
Historyharlot93 1 month ago
The OB rooms where I gave birth had pull out beds for family to sack out on after the birth. My husband was amazing through it all. But when they woke me up 4 hours after the birth to feed baby, he was wrapped up like a mummy in a sheet and slept like the dead. I still tease him about it.
Huddo's sister 4 weeks ago
After 24+ hrs of labour and one night's sleep on a pull out bed in the hospital room with my sister in law, my brother went home, at her insistence. He said he felt so guilty leaving her there, and he didn't sleep any better than if he had been at the hospital because he was worried about his partner and baby. Even though she had urged him to go, my sister in law said that night alone, feeling like she wasn't prepared enough to look after baby, even with nurses there, was terrible.

I was an ER nurse, but to get to L&D you came thru ER. One guy was wanting to watch Monday night football while his wife was in labor. He showed up with a 12 pack of Bud light, a bag of Oreos and a hibachi grill in case he would be here awhile.
Another one was so nervous about watching his wife give birth he passed out cold in the parking lot. One of the security guards found him. He had struck his head on the curb, needed 50 sutures to close a scalp wound and was taken to the L&D waiting room where he fell asleep on a sofa. His wife had no idea where he went to and didn't find him until she was being discharged.
Another guy was a local DJ on a radio station. He was a first time dad and wanted everyone to know about it. He was in the delivery room doing a play by play for all his listeners. His wife finally had enough and started screaming obscenities until he stopped broadcasting.

While my mom was undergoing a c-section (I was feet-first), my dad fainted, hit his head, and had to be seen downstairs in the ER to get stitches. My mother never let him live it down.
Binny Tutera 1 month ago
When I was in the labor room my husband was so worried about me that he wanted to stand next to me and hold my hand. The doctor said in no uncertain terms that I was the priority and if he fainted they’d push him into the corner to get him out of the way. My hubs can’t watch those nature films where the lion takes down the antelope so I was worried he’d faint. He didn’t. He said he was determined to be there and didn’t let the whole thing ruin it.

My mum allowed a newly graduated EMT watch my birth so he knew what the deal was in case he'd have to do delivery in the ambulance and he was the one fainting in a corner, poor soul. Apparently he was fine until they pulled me out with one of those sucker thingies because I tried to make an illegal u-turn back in. Baby with a sucker hat was too much. Must have looked brutal.

We had an expectant father refuse to sit down when the anesthesiologist showed up to do an epidural - one look at that needle and he passed out conking his head bad enough to need stitches. I got to go downstairs to the ED to tell him his baby had been born and he missed it. The nursing staff was nice to his face but they were laughing at that idiot for months after.
Seriously men, accept that you are useless and weak in the face of your partner's awesome life giving power and sit your bum down when the nurse tells you to. You have literally one job and if you can't handle that then I just feel really bad for your kids - I swear these are the guys who turn into the "my wife needs to meal prep and leave pages of detailed instructions in order to go on a two day work trip" 🤮.

The men who are insistent their partner is discharged ASAP after having a second baby because they can’t cope with their toddler. Like, your wife had a third degree tear and lost 1500ml of blood, she’s not going home tonight just because you can’t parent your own child!

Excuse me? Useless? I was right there through both our kids, and almost atracked the doctor at one point. My wife wanted a natural birth with our first one, and was struggling. All of a sudden a strange nurse breezes in and pulls out a big plastic thing the size of three darning needles with a hook on one end. An unknown doctor appeared, grabbed that boat hook, crouches between my wife's legs, cöcks his arm back and says "I'm going to break your waters now." He jumped a foot in the air when I hollered. Arrogant jerk. We didn't even know him, he'd just taken it on himself to solve our "problem" without our doctor's knowledge. Our doc tore him a new one right outside our door.

The worst are the ones who ask for an 'extra stitch' after their wife has an episiotomy. For those who do not know, this is when you tear and have to be sewn back up. Real gems of a man ask for an extra stitch or two so their wife will be tighter 'down there', for the pleasure of their husbands.

I was literally like ……”….you left?” My husband took such good care of me during my induction. As a *partner* should. Blew my mind. By the time my niece was born he didn’t want to look because it would be “gross” and then had to sit down because he was going to pass out. My SIL said the fact that the nurses were doting on him and bringing him Gatorade was the motivation/anger she needed to do that last big push.
I’ve never, ever been more disappointed.

More commonly known as the husband stitch, I'm hoping it is confined to the history books but I'm not optimistic. Some women who had to have stitches end up with another procedure because they healed so tightly that it's difficult to even insert a tampon.

Partner striped naked to get in the birthing pool with his wife/girlfriend. the poor midwife didn’t know what to do.
edit to add: there was no issue with him choosing to be in the pool with his wife (although having seen what’s in a birthing pool after a delivery, it’s not somewhere i’d choose to be). the weird part was that he felt it was okay to entirely strip in front of a midwife who was maybe 23/24 at the time and a male doctor. his wife was wearing more clothing than he was.

How about the weirdest thing we saw FROM a maternity ward employee:
When I gave birth to our first daughter, we weren't married. So, the husband and I had to sign a paper saying he IS the father, etc. Our baby looked so much like him and his sister that we joked that maybe she wasn't mine. He said "I'm positive I'm her dad but, are you sure you're her mother?" and other silliness.
Maternity clerk had a brain freeze or something because she was ADAMANT that he had 90 days to refute the paternity claim and suggested a DNA test, etc. We weren't quiet when we were saying these things and we were OBVIOUSLY cracking up at each other. He was clearly joking when he said "are you sure you're her mother?" while I was standing there in a hospital gown with a med bracelet on. I don't think the lady knew how babies were made and born- even with all the chart info right in front of her. We had to reply, "Ma'am.... I'm sure I'm her mother since I just pushed her out hours ago. Says so right here" *points at chart and he said, "Um... ma'am? I asked her if she was sure SHE was her mother. I NEVER said I wasn't sure she's my child. We were just joking with each other. How did you come to the conclusion that we needed a DNA test?"
Lady just sat there and blinked for a good minute before it registered in her brain.

A relative who was a GP doing a locum got tired of the midwives calling him for a delivery very late in the birth (if the baby arrived before the doctor got there, the midwife got the delivery fee so the late calls were deliberate). So he started to go to bed fully clothed and managed to get there in time thereafter. Said the crestfallen expressionon the midwives faces was classic. It wasn't so much that he begrudged the midwives the fee as it was being pissed off at being woken up at 2 am and driving to the hospital for no reason.

Story from the opposite end.
My eldest god son is now 21.
This story goes back to his birth, my friend had a tendency for premature and short births.
Her first arrived 2 weeks early after a 4 hour labour
Her Second arrived 5 weeks early and a 2 hour labour.
This was her third.
Her husband was out of town she was bored and 30 weeks pregnant, they had a plan in place....it didnt happen We had just sat down and ordered pizza in some place in Chelsea near where she lived, we were talking when she stopped stood up and said we need to go to the hospital now!.
I looked confused, then realised "but youve still got a couple of months...."
She explained about her first two and added she wasnt about to give birth in an hour if she wasnt in a hospital...
So we cancelled the pizza....her waters broke in the doorway. She yelled sorry, im flagging down a black cab, shes having contractions...im trying to call husband and the maternity ward as shes trying to stay calm....
We get to the hospitals maternity ward, still no husband. ...
The midwife tells me to put down the phone it can wait and i need to be in there with her..
We laugh im not her husband im not the kids father im trying to call him. Im still being dressed in the protective gear and calling her husband who isnt responding.
...10 minutes later godson arrives screaming.
57 minutes from that first twinge, till he arrived.....
Friend passes out, apparently thats happened each time, she kept that a surprise im there holding him.
Phone rings nurse answers.
All she says to husband was, "well that was a rollercoaster smiles at me gives my phone back..takes GS and i talk with husband.
I just ask why did noone warn me this was why you wanted someone with her at all times.....
Ironically, her 4th and final kid a few years later -a girl- after 3 boys, arrived as scheduled and a 14 hour Labour.

I am so jealous of someone having such a quick delivery! My daughter took over 18 hours to arrive and then I haemorrhaged. My son had to be taken via c-section because my organs were starting to fail and once again, I lost so much blood I had to have multiple transfusions. We found out I have a blood disorder. I really wanted more children, but after two times of nearly leaving this Earth .... twas not meant to be.

My cousin's longest labour was 25 minutes. Baby 1 waters burst in the hospital car park while she's being carried by her husband. Her tights kept the baby in until they got inside. Baby 2, she was in the hospital for 2 days before just waiting. Baby 3 - due NYE - she started coughing on Xmas eve, dad nips 2 doors down the street for the midwife - baby was born when they got back. Baby 4 - premature, luckily they'd moved by this time and were 5 minutes from the hospital - they just made it. 3 boys then a girl. No more

My mother told me my dad showed up with a face full of lipstick kisses when my brother was born...
They didn't split up and had me 10 years later...

My mother was at the hospital to have me, and my dad was admitted at the same time with ulcers. Hmmmnnn. Gee wonder if any correlation.
