There are some women who will insist on having their partners there for moral and emotional support while in labour, but we reckon there are a few who would have kicked Jonathan Theriot out of the room after this stunt!

 

Jonathan has become a viral internet sensation today, after sharing a screenshot of his wife Jessica giving birth – while he attempted to ‘catch 'em all’ in a game of Pokémon Go!

 

Game-lover Jonathan took to Imgur to post the screenshot of ‘Pidgey’ flying towards his screen, with poor Jessica awaiting her C-section in the background.

“When your wife is about to have a baby, and a Pokémon shows up and you have to low-key catch it,” he captioned the hilarious image.

 

As you can imagine, the Imgur community was left highly amused, and the image prompted some hilarious responses.

 

“If she’s your wife, she should understand how important this Pidgey is,” wrote one fellow Pokémon Go fan.

 

 

Meanwhile, another astutely observed: “I can tell this is going to be a new thing of ‘Pokémon turning up in inappropriate places’. I can’t wait”.

 

Explaining the incident to Buzzfeed.com, Jonathan said: “As soon as it popped up, I was like, oh my gosh, there’s a Pidgey sitting on your bed! So, I screen-shotted it, then caught it and showed it to her.”

 

As for Jessica’s response? A ‘laugh’ and an ‘eyeroll’!

 

The couple went on to welcome daughter Ireland Sage – their third child – on Thursday. What a story to tell the tot when she’s older!
