What do you get when you mix intense pain, exhaustion, adrenaline and a room full of people yelling "push!"? Potentially, an atmosphere where almost anything can happen - and sometimes, even some top class entertainment.
Giving birth has the ability to strip away every layer of politeness, pretense and sanity. It's raw, it's emotional and often, in hindsight, it can be quite hilarious. From moms screaming for a divorce, to dads passing out, the flies on the maternity ward walls have seen it all. Messy chaos that culminates in the beautiful moment new life enters this world.
Someone asked, "OB/GYN doctors/midwives what is the craziest thing that a woman has said during labor?" and people didn't hold back.
Bored Panda has out together a list of the most unfiltered answers for you to scroll through as you marvel at the miracle of birth. Many prove that labor isn't just a medical event, it's a full-blown unscripted performace.

I'm not an OB, but after I had an epidural during my first labor, I went silent for several hours, then looked over to my husband and said "What was the name of that movie where Shaq played a genie?"
Apparently both of us made a lot of "inappropriate jokes" after that which I don't remember, because, pain and meds.

My friend's first remark upon seeing his newborn child crowning was "it looks like a fuzzy dinosaur egg".

My older brother was a C-section, and I was my mom's first normal (vaginal) birth. She was really hopped up on meds (the ones the doctor gave her). From what I've been told by my dad, she insisted we paint the front porch, and then I popped out.

After reading a few of these, I think my situation can fall into weird.
I was a teenager and my sister was having her first baby, I stood at her head as emotional support and while she was pushing, I was eating a bag of M&Ms through the whole delivery. In between of popping an M&M and saying, "good job sis, you got this!"...pop an M&M...words of support...M&M....ya'll get the picture.
My sister's have not let me live down the infamous bag of M&Ms till this day.

My wife begged me to suffocate her with a pillow repeatedly. Then she got her epidural and was fine. Hilarious before that though.
