A clip showing a husband suffering from stomach pains during his wife’s labor went viral and sparked a huge debate among internet users.
A TikTok video showing a father suffering from stomach pains during his wife’s labor went viral and sparked a huge debate among internet users. The video, which has already garnered 7 million views, is receiving comments on this unusual scene.
The shared footage shows the husband experiencing “strong stomach pain” after his wife’s water breaks, but they cannot go to the hospital and have to wait until “his insides decided to calm down.”
The roles are reversed, and the wife, in labor, tries to calm her husband, assuring him that he is “doing great” and encouraging him to breathe despite the pain. By the end of the clip, the husband is seen lying on the floor with an eye mask to relax.
Tiffany, the wife and now mother of a beautiful baby, was the one who posted the video and explains in the captions that her husband went through a lot of stress and couldn’t control his nerves.
The clip sparked a large debate about what fathers experience during childbirth; many internet users criticized the husband for his reaction, pointing out that it was a time for him to set aside his emotions and focus his efforts and thoughts on his wife and the baby arriving.
Others, however, showed empathy and defended him, believing that childbirth can also be a very impactful experience for fathers, and that they can feel overwhelmed.
In response to the comments, the mother later shared another video showing that after her husband calmed down, he stayed in the delivery room and participated in the baby’s first care.
