Childbirth is one of the most strenuous and physically traumatizing experience that women go through. In fact, many men are clueless about just how difficult the experience is. Which is why, this Reddit thread where women have shared the dumbest things their partners said to them while they were in labor is such a sad reality check.

So here, take a look at what these women have revealed:

1. “Something along the lines of ‘Damn babe, that looks like it hurts’.”

2. “He doesn’t think I remember this because I was pretty zonked, but I was sucking on that sweet, sweet gas while I was riding contractions and he said ‘Ease up on the gas babe’.

The nurse looked him dead in the eye and said ‘She can have as much gas as she wants’. He was suitably cowed until it was time to cut the cord.”
