Amber captioned the clip: ‘My boyfriend brought his entire gaming system to the hospital during my 21-hour long induction.’ 

Some commenters were completely on her boyfriend’s side and revealed they thought their was nothing wrong with bringing a little entertainment. 

One person said: ‘I mean I see no problem. 21 hours is a long time, and guess what people, you can put a controller down when needed. 

‘So long as he gives her as much as she wants and supports her when needed there’s no problem. 

Amber wasn’t phased by her boyfriend’s decision and many of her followers voiced their support, saying they would do the same thing

Some commenters thought he’d done nothing wrong and vouched for labour being long and boring

‘Hospitals are BORING AS HELL,’ one wrote, while another person agreed, saying: ‘I would allow this so I could watch.’

While a third wrote: ‘I would’ve done the same thing.’

A fellow supporter asked if he was expected to ‘sit there for 21 hours staring at her’ and said that it was probably ‘entertaining’ for her to watch him.  

Others, however, didn’t see the funny side and thought Amber’s boyfriend was being disrespectful.

One person said: ‘That’s sad how video games are taking over people’s lives.’

Another said sarcastically: ‘That’s exciting. What he will be doing once the baby is born too? Gaming while you are taking care of all of the babies needs.’

And a third person wrote: ‘You will be raising this kid on your own… too busy gaming!’

Other commenters were distressed by seeing him not pay attention to Amber and shared that they thought it was unnacceptable
