Lois here, it's one of the phrases that enrage the woman. What do you know, Peter? Do we really got this? Would you be 'getting it' if your inside felt like being torn apart by an infant the size of Meg?

Yeah this seems like a way more likely answer than what most people are saying

It’s not. Positive affirmations are very common during birth.

She seems startled not pissed. If this was the answer her arms would be crossed, an eyebrow raised. I don't think this is it.

In the original audio of the video the pregnant woman slaps the husband after he says this. It's a joke about how during labor there's alot of high emotions and stress that the mother to be is experiencing and how such a situation can be awkward for the nurses in the room to be involved in.

Oh that context changes everything! I would be surprised too as the nurse I guess.

I took it as startled/braced for the laboring person reaction, as a nurse, but I guess it's just up to interpretation
