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.
I'm guessing this is the actual answer. It's funny how split people are about this. People think it's either that men are deadbeats usually, or men can't seem to say the right thing in a situation like that.
I hope it’s not casting shade for a guy saying “you got this”, though I realize it may well be. Childbirth is a super awkward, actually genuinely terrifying, situation that usually lasts a few hours. The smoothest & most well-meaning and informed guy in the world is going to say something sub-optimal by the end.
