Who says dads have it easy during childbirth? A series of viral photos from a couple welcoming their third child proves that fathers can be just as overwhelmed—and hilariously expressive—during labor and delivery.
In the past, fathers were often left pacing outside the delivery room, waiting for news. But today, many are expected to be present for every moment, which can lead to some unforgettable reactions—like those of Brett Sillis.

Brett and his partner, Amanda Renee, recently welcomed their third baby, and while the moment was deeply emotional, it was Brett’s facial expressions that stole the spotlight.
Amanda later shared the candid photos from the delivery room, showing Brett looking absolutely stunned by the birth process. While Amanda was focused on bringing their daughter into the world, she had no idea her husband was reacting so dramatically just a few feet away.
“We didn’t even look at the pictures until I was back in the room,” Amanda said. “But once we did, I was like, ‘I have to post these!’”
The couple, now home with their newborn daughter, says they’ve been enjoying the sweet—and funny—memories captured that day. Brett’s expressions resonated with thousands online, especially other dads who recognized themselves in his stunned reactions.
“Dawg, this was me,” one dad commented.
Another mother joked, “This is why when my husband wanted to ‘watch,’ I clamped my knees together and told him if he didn’t get back up by my head, I wasn’t pushing!”
A third added, “I think all guys make these faces. My husband couldn’t stop staring at me during our daughter’s birth six weeks ago. My labor was only 15 minutes, and he still nearly passed out. Congratulations, mama!”
With more than 6,000 shares and countless comments, the photos struck a humorous and heartfelt chord with parents everywhere.
Congratulations to Amanda, Brett, and their growing family!
