He’s got some pointers for the delivery room.

Ryan Reynolds has welcomed two babies into the world with wife Blake Lively. Their first daughter, James, is almost two years old, while they recently celebrated the birth of their second child.

Following his experience in the delivery room, he’d like to pass on some of his wisdom to other dads-to-be.

He was speaking to GQ and gave some hilarious pointers about how to help partners while they give birth.

Firstly he said, “Be in the room, you’re not Don Draper. Your wife will never think it’s funny or charming if you tip your imaginary top hat and say, ‘At your cervix.’ Don’t do that.”

He also added, “Realise that you’re pretty much the least important thing in the room. It’s gonna go your wife, your baby, the doctor, a nurse, a doula if you have one… the air.”

And finally he had one last piece of advice, “When your wife asks if everything’s OK down there, just respond in the affirmative. Don’t yell, ‘Better than ever!'”
