In a heartwarming and somewhat humorous moment, a man decided to take a selfie while his wife was in the thick of labor, giving birth to their daughter. This amusing snapshot, shared on Reddit, shows the proud dad grinning from ear to ear, while his wife endures the intensity of childbirth just behind him. The image has sparked a lively debate about whether this dad is incredibly brave or perhaps a tad reckless.
The man, whom we’ll call Jake Thompson, shared the image with the caption, “My wife wanted to ensure someone captured our expressions when our daughter entered the world. So I took one.” A pointed comment from a Redditor read, “This is great, but you might want to sleep with one eye open when she’s fully coherent again.” Another user humorously added, “If my husband did this, I would seriously consider a life sentence for him—no joke.”
Reactions to the Selfie
The reactions to Jake’s selfie have been just as entertaining as the photo itself. Some comments included:
- “Today, your family welcomed a new life, but you might have lost another.”
- “RIP, Jake; you’ll be missed by some.”
- “Sorry to hear she’ll grow up without a father.”
- “Please keep us updated so we know you’re still alive!”
Fortunately, as reported by various sources, Jake’s wife found the humor in the moment and even laughed at the selfie. While delivery room selfies should probably remain a rare phenomenon, there’s undeniable joy captured in that image. Jake’s expression radiates excitement and fun, embodying the spirit of parenthood—especially in those challenging early days.
After the delivery, Jake updated his friends on social media, revealing that their baby girl arrived without any complications and is “as beautiful as her mother.” Congratulations to the new parents! However, a word of caution for the dads out there: think twice before attempting something similar.
