A boyfriend hilariously fainted right at the crucial moment during the birth of his first child.
Zach Parker, 28, could be seen bending over and looking queasy as his girlfriend Peyton Stewart, 25, gave birth to their baby daughter, Ryan.
With nurses and midwives focusing on the mom and baby, Zach turned to see his new daughter, but instantly felt his legs go from under him during the birth in Houston, Texas.
As medical staff realized he was about to faint, they rushed to grab him.
The hilarious moment was caught on camera thanks to Peyton’s mom, who had been dialed in on a video call moments after Ryan was born.
Peyton said: “My mom couldn’t be there during the birth because of COVID.
“I was only pushing for about 4-5 minutes so after Zach set up the phone for my mom to watch our baby came really quickly.
“Once the doctor said her head was out, my mom started recording and that’s also what Zach said made him start to feel dizzy.”

Zach added: “I hadn’t eaten anything, because Peyton couldn’t eat in the buildup to the baby.
“But once the emotions and everything hit me, it all just combined and I passed out.
“The nurses caught me and put me in a chair. After they gave me some crackers and juice I felt fine.
“But it was all worth it to finally see Ryan.”
Baby Ryan was born healthy on March 29th, 2021 at Memorial Herman Hospital in Houston, Texas. The couple, who have been together since 2019, have already figured out how they will spin the story for Ryan when she’s older.

Peyton said: “We are going to tell her when she gets older he passed out because she was so beautiful!”
And dad Zach says he’s learned his lesson. He said: “Next time I’m going to eat some pizza or something!”
