    This can't be real. The bit about "everyone acting like it's totally normal" for something that's clearly not, and just the absurdity of the situation makes me believe it's fake. People can't be that shitty, can they? But in the 1% chance it's true, wtf

      When my wife gave birth, the delivery room had a sign saying any sexual comments, said jokingly or not, would result in you being immediately kicked out. I couldn't believe they needed to put up a fucking sign for that at the time so that makes this post a bit less shocking to me.

        When one of our kids was delivered the midwife told us of another couple where the man had... stimulated... his partner during labour. The way she told it was that some level of physical intimacy was beneficial to the process but that this particular couple had stepped way over the line of being weird and uncomfortable to the hospital staff.

        Couple of years ago I had to listen to a distant relative make the "husband stitch" joke while I was sitting at the other end of the table at a big family event. Legitimately made me angry how much the grillman found it funny.

          Some people are really unhinged. The thing that upsets me more is when someone says something like that and then would continually be invited to events following that

        Yeah, that’s crazy that that was an issue so often they put a sign up for it. It would be like a CAT scan room having a sign saying “Don’t punch the patients”

      Assuming the nurses/midwives are trained professionals, I'm going to guess that

      A. They're too focused on their job to pay attention to what some observer is doing on the other side of the room

      B. They've probably witnessed worse behavior from women's husbands during childbirth
