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.

Yeah, this isn't a life threatening endeavor that could result in so many complications that she is probably scared about. She should be good with the same thing you say to a clerk in a store making sure your card cleared.
