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. She's bracing herself because she knows the husband is about to get it. And the fact fathers in this threadvare falling over themselves to say the husband is being helpful and supportive is hilarious. You don't get a medal for being there and saying "you got this". Your role is to let the mother of your child scream at you and near break your arm while you apologise for everything she's going through.
