Giving birth is no easy feat: it’s raw, exhausting, and life-changing all at once. But for some moms, the hardest part isn’t just the birth itself, it’s the bizarre things people feel the need to say afterward.

When someone on TikTok asked , “What’s the most unhinged thing someone said to you right after you gave birth?” moms did not hold back. The answers poured in, and they range from hilariously clueless to shockingly insensitive.

So if you’re curious about what not to say to a new mom or just need a laugh, keep reading. Some of these might make you cringe, others will make you chuckle, and all of them prove that sometimes people just really need to think before they speak.

Midwife told me my baby looked jaundice during our 3 day stay in hospital after birth. I explained to her that his dad is Nigerian and the baby isn’t jaundice to which she told me there is a difference between jaundice and melatonin. I said sorry the sleep hormone?? And she said ‘no what gives your skin colour, melatonin.’ I said ‘i really think you mean melanin not melatonin’, she told me i was wrong and did jaundice test anyway. Baby was not jaundice.

Anyway next day midwife came in to look at my scar and literally gasped in horror and jumped back “OH MY GOODNESS LOOK AT THAT HAEMORRHOID!!” I was mortified and said yes probably because I was pushing for two hours… So if that wasn’t bad enough she went out to get two other midwives to come in and have a look, also gasped and recoiled in horror. 😫 Wish I could’ve throat punched them when my legs came back

Not said, but did. (I forgive him now but boy was I mad) I hadn’t gone into labour, but one of my organs were necrotic and it was poisoning my blood and giving me sepsis. Cat 1 emergency c-section, 3 days in ICU, 2 in high dependency unit (met my son twice so far) all of a sudden handed my child, I can’t walk, can’t sit up at all by myself. Barely any assistance as is. My partner has to go home and get things sorted, decided he doesn’t want to come back that night. So he leaves me completely alone, and vulnerable, unable to walk properly, unable to sit up properly, to look after my son who’s 4 weeks early, I can barely hold. The next day when he comes back, he proceeded to brag about getting to sleep in a proper bed. I went off on him as I’m highly emotional and in a lot of pain, he stayed the rest of the time I was in hospital. 11 days in total

got told to stop complaining about the pain i was in so i could get out of there sooner (i was recovering from a 30 hour back and front labour , epidural and spinal block, whilst having antibiotics and 3 blood bags transfusions )
