One of my tasks in L&D is to coach the woman in labour. This involves me looking her in the eye, saying "are you ready?" then "OK go go go go go go push push push push push!". Repeat. A lot. I also encourage good pushes that make baby move further down the canal. It sounds pretty goofy while I'm doing it. Even more goofy to anyone not directly involved in the pushing.
One dad who looked like he was stuck in an surreal movie scene started laughing. He said he felt like we were at the Briar and that he expected me to start saying "hurry hard!".
I was laughing too hard to help with the next push.
You can laugh the baby out right?
