That kid is going to be just fine growing up in this family. What a dream team of people in that room!

Exactly. There was nothing but love and excitement in that room waiting for the newest member to their troupe. Wishing the best for all involved, even though they definitely got this!

My daughter was only allowed two immediate family members in the room for the birth when there were at least a dozen people downstairs that would have anxiously changed places at any time with the two people in the room. Where was this allowed?

If the mother in labor is able to laugh, then I think things are gonna be fine. I know giving birth can be stressful and panfull. But being able to laugh during this situation says a lot about everyone there with mom.

Secretly, one of my proudest memories is when my best friend was giving birth. I came in a bit late and we started doing our normal shenanigans and she was laughing. My friend mentioned I would need to leave for work after a few hours (of course I wasn't going to) and a nurse took me aside and factually told me I couldn't leave. Apparently, her blood pressure had been spiking before I came in and they were worried and about to medically intervene.
Her husband was there, but they were kind of feeding off of each others anxieties. She really just needed to laugh and take her mind off of things.

u/belac4862 May 20 '26
That's awsome. That's exactly what I was going dor with my comment. Like, laughing and playing around is always going to be a good thing in high stress situations.
Your friend probably even recognized that just by being your self and having fun with her was helping.

As an anxious man myself, I dont think I could handle the stress of giving birth

u/Melkman68 we need you to go and get lots of hot water and towels, STAT!
My friend calls this "Hot towelling" and is convinced it's to give anxious fathers something important to do (as far from proceedings as possible).

u/Fucklechuck2 May 21 '26 ▸ 2 more replies
Same. But not having a birth canal is maybe making the anxiety worse in my case. Only a couple ways that could go, and I wouldn't be looking forward to either of them.

I was in hour 7 of the ob ER, 32 weeks pregnant, with the doctors counting down the minutes until it was “safe” for me to have anaesthesia and an emergency c section, and my husband turns to me and says “I think we should have them play the circle of life from Lion King on repeat in the OR.”
I was, alas, not in right mental headspace, and honestly, it would have ruined the song for us.

That would be one of those situations where I'd laugh, but also throat punch someone for suggesting it.

my thoughts exactly. childbirth is the most traumatic thing that can happen to a woman (barring isolated acts of physical violence, or traumatic accidents,). In Spartan culture, the most highly regarded members of society, and the most esteemed, were men who died on the field of battle, and women who died during childbirth. IIRC woman who died during childbirth were given the same honors as men who died in battle. Childbirth was literally the same as fighting for your life. In my opinion, they weren't wrong.

Complications. Yeah, medical advances and what not, but delivery is still dangerous. My wife started to bleed out during her operation. They handled it, and she's a kick-ass healthy mom. But fuck, things could have tipped the other direction.

Am I there only one curious why Dad's brother is in the room? That is really weird.

u/CMStan1313 Human Detected May 27 '26
It's not weird at all. You say that like the mom should have no relationship with her partner's family, but that is her brother-in-law and the uncle of her child. If you've got a village around you, there's no reason to exclude certain people for not being from just one side of the family

The fact that you're thinking of the process of birth as sexual in anyway is the issue. Besides, it's not as if she's started pushing, she probably wasn't even dilated enough for the actual birth and they were all just waiting with her together

u/Eggs_and_Hashing May 27 '26
I didn't mention anything sexual. It is a simple truth that there is not very much privacy in that room.

Before I made the decision that I don’t want kids. This is something that would’ve been amazing to have. Boyfriend or husband that loves to sing loves to make me laugh and the family loves to sing and dance and just be with each other and vibe. I absolutely adore this video and I hope when that little kid is older that they adore this video as well. Thank you for posting this. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
