When He Came to His Senses and Shared Some REAL Delivery Room Tips For Dads

His top five tips for dads in the delivery room were as follows:

"Be in the room — you're not Don Draper."
"Be judicious with the photographs you take, because you know, a photo of your daughter crowning hanging on the refrigerator isn't going to help anyone."
"Your wife will pretty much never think it's funny or charming if you tip your imaginary top hat and say, 'At your cervix.' Don't do that."
"You really want to realise that you're pretty much the least important thing in the room. It's going to go your wife, the baby, your doctor, the nurse, a doula, if you have one . . . the air."
"When your wife asks if everything's OK down there, just respond in the affirmative. Don't yell, 'Better than ever!'"
