I’m a labour & delivery nurse and men always make the same comments – I can’t believe the audacity of them
DELIVERING a baby is both the most exciting and terrifying moment in any woman’s life.
So it’s important to have a supportive partner who is going to offer support and words of wisdom during the process.
But one labour and delivery nurse has told how some men can actually be quite the hindrance during labour – all thanks to the unhelpful comments that leave their mouths.
Katie, who posts under the acronym @_mauiwowie, took to TikTok and shared a video revealing some of the worst things dads have said to her as a labour and delivery nurse.
In the clip, she begins by revealing that one of the most popular questions she’s asked is: “When’s the doctor coming?”
She went on to say another common ask if for the WiFi password.
