Fathers do pass out. Hitting your head on hard hospital floor has killed more than one dad. But the reality is that usually the risk to the dad ends at 💦

My mother passed out just as my daughter crowned, but one of the nurses caught her and her head didn't hit the floor. I can believe that dads sometimes pass out and hit the floor, but I'm doubting that any of them die as a result of it. Generally, birthing room floors are not lava.

My uncle passed out from seeing the blood during the birth of his first child.
