In an amusing yet concerning turn of events, a sports anchor found himself in a dilemma while live-streaming for a sports network. During his segment, he received a text from his wife that read, “I’m getting an epidural. I need you here now.” Confusion washed over him as he pondered aloud, “Should I just walk off set?”
The obvious answer? Absolutely! Yet, he remained seated, while his colleagues exchanged looks of disbelief, clearly wondering why he wasn’t rushing to his wife’s side. As the moments dragged on, viewers could almost feel the tension akin to waiting for someone to finish their agonizingly slow Scrabble turn—everyone just wanted him to GO!
It’s important to remember that for many men, the experience of labor can be overwhelming. Take, for instance, when I informed my partner that my routine doctor’s appointment had quickly escalated to an emergency hospital visit. Despite knowing where our doctor’s office was located, he mistakenly headed to a Manhattan hospital instead of the one in Brooklyn. These situations can induce a “fight or flight” response, leading to some less-than-ideal decisions.
Ultimately, everything turned out well for the sports anchor and his wife. Labor is indeed a chaotic experience for both partners, as they navigate the emotional and physical challenges involved.
