Is this a bit much?
Images via Unsplash.com and TikTok/@amberscxttA man has gone viral after coming up with an innovative way to pass the time during his partner's labour.
Footage was shared on TikTok showing the man playing video games as his partner was induced behind him. In the video, he has the full works in the hospital with him - the console, a monitor and even headphones.
His girlfriend, Amber, shared the moment on TikTok with the simple caption:
"My boyfriend brought his entire gaming system to the hospital during my 21 hour long induction".

The video has over 1.6 million views and has over 3,000 comments of people sharing their opinions. Some were totally against the idea with one user commenting "absolutely not".
Another said, "That's sad how video games are taking over people's lives".
However, there were plenty of others who didn't think it was such a big deal.
"I don't see the problem", said one.
Another added, "I mean what ya wanted him to do? Sit there for 21 hours staring at her? She was probably more entertained watching him play .. I would be".
Turns out the mum to be wasn't too put out by her fella playing games during labour. She commented on the video herself saying:
"It's okay everyone. I wasn't in any type of pain till 19 hours later when it was almost time for me to push. And for those 19 hours, I watched movies".
