When you’re in labour, the last thing you want is a family drama unfolding in the delivery room. But apparently, it’s quite common.
At least according to the doctors and nurses who have taken to Reddit to share their delivery room horror stories. Some are funny, some are sad – and some are downright disgusting.

cheechsfeist said, "The baby came out with darker skin than expected, and the husband went absolutely bonkers, screaming at his wife and throwing things around the room. His wife had not been faithful."
My_Name_Is_Pearl shared a (fairly gross) family story, "Not a nurse/doctor, but my mum was the only one present when my sister gave birth. So she decides to take a picture of the midwife holding up the baby and sends it to me and my three brothers. Unfortunately my sister's hoohah was visible in the picture."
But probably the most dramatic story was courtesy of Hottiemcgee, who wrote, "A woman had a baby and she didn't want her alcoholic father to know. He showed up on labour and delivery, absolutely smashed out of his mind demanding he meet his grandchild."
