In a moment that has sparked laughter and disbelief, a father decided to immerse himself in a mobile game while his wife prepared for a cesarean delivery. The incident, shared widely online, has garnered attention and amusement.
Recently, the popular mobile game Pokémon Go captured the attention of many, including new dad, Alex Johnson. While eagerly awaiting the arrival of their third child, Johnson and his wife, Laura, found themselves both engaged with their phones. Johnson admits, “It’s so addictive that I even met another dad in the hospital who was also playing!” Just as the big moment approached, Johnson spotted a rare Pokémon — a Pidgey — that he felt compelled to catch. With the anticipation of their baby’s arrival in the air, he managed to capture it and took a screenshot, which he later shared on social media, quickly racking up views.
His post humorously stated, “When your wife is about to give birth, and a Pokémon shows up, you just have to catch it…” The image revealed the all-important Pidgey on his screen, with his wife in the background, visibly ready to give birth.
When interviewed, Johnson recounted, “As soon as it appeared, I couldn’t resist. I took a screenshot, caught it, and showed it to her.” Surprisingly, Laura remained composed throughout the process. “She just laughed at it. It was mostly an eye-roll once she realized what I was doing,” he added, knowing full well the collective eye-roll of women everywhere.
While some commenters questioned his priorities during such a significant life event, Johnson clarified that they were not in the throes of labor. “When that photo was taken, she wasn’t in pain at all. We were waiting for the scheduled c-section, having a conversation while we both played on our phones.”
Of course, he paused his gaming once their daughter, Emily Rose, made her grand entrance into the world. Post-delivery, Johnson shared that things are going smoothly, and he’s had some downtime to enjoy more Pokémon, especially since Emily is a good sleeper. “My older daughter is really into it too, so it’s fun to bond over that,” he remarked.
