In a recent video, new dad Adam Carson, known for his quick wit, shares side-splitting advice for fathers-to-be preparing for the delivery room. As a proud father of two and a favorite among celebrity dads, Carson’s humorous take on fatherhood has captured the hearts of many. This time, he delivers a dose of reality with his trademark sarcasm, offering essential tips for dads on the brink of the life-changing moment of childbirth.
Be Present in the Room
First and foremost, Carson’s number one rule is simple: “Be present in the room. This isn’t 1962.” For any dads still considering bailing out on this monumental experience, that reminder is crucial. His subsequent advice only gets more entertaining.
Photography Tips
Next up is the topic of photography. Carson humorously warns, “Be selective with your photos. A picture of your baby crowning on the fridge isn’t going to do anyone any favors.” In an age where smartphones are ubiquitous, it’s easy to get carried away snapping pictures when the moment is intense. Unless your partner has specifically requested evidence of that pivotal moment, it’s best to keep the camera away.
Mind Your Humor
Carson then offers a lighthearted caution: “Your partner will not appreciate it if you tip an imaginary hat and quip, ‘At your cervix.’ Just don’t.” While this may seem amusing to some, most partners might not share that sentiment in the heat of the moment.
Know Your Place
He proceeds to remind dads of their place in the delivery room hierarchy. “You’re pretty much the least significant person in there,” he says, ranking the order as follows: “your partner, the baby, the doctor, the nurse, and if applicable, the doula. Oh, and then there’s the air.” While it may sound a bit harsh, it’s true that during labor, the focus should remain on the laboring parent and the medical team.
Stay Positive
Finally, Carson encourages new dads to maintain a positive outlook. If your partner inquires about the situation “down there,” your best response is a reassuring “everything’s fine” rather than an exaggerated “better than ever.” Moms can see right through that fib!
Thanks for keeping it real, Adam Carson. Your blend of humor and honesty is refreshing for all expectant dads.
