OB/GYN's may be professional, but they've also been around the block when it comes to the crazy stuff they have heard from patients. Working in the medical field is already hectic, but being a doctor for the female body is whole 'nother story.

Anyone who has given birth will agree that labor is a pretty much all-consuming activity. All you can—and should be—focusing on is getting yourself to the hospital as quickly as possible. It would help if you didn't have to worry about tracking down your partner while doing so, who had made themselves as unavailable as possible. It sounds like an absurd scenario, right? Well, one woman who posted on Reddit's Am I The A-hole faced this very scenario when she couldn't reach her husband when she was in labor. After failing to respond to her texts and calls, she called a friend to take her to the hospital. Her husband, who only looked at his phone at the end of the workday, was p*ssed at her for not going via his office to get him, so that he could be there for the birth of their daughter. Of course, the internet jumped to the woman's defense, calling her husband out for being a massive a-hole. 

Giving birth is one of, if not the hardest things that a woman will ever go through. And although some women have it a lot easier than others, every woman has her own difficult labor journey.

These women shared their stories on Whisper of the funniest moments they had in the delivery room - from husbands passing out, to only finding out they were pregnant when they went into labor, to everything in between.
