** Couldn't it be the fact that he grew up on a planet where pregnancy, live birth, etc., doesn't exist? (Thus making him even less qualified than any random earth male...)

* Fairly narrowly averted in the very beginning of ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh
** They did get to the hospital in time, probably because Conrad had the forethought to be in a taxi when he approached Miko-chan. One may still infer that he was prepared to do this; in fact he brings up his presence at Wolfram's birth to reassure Miko. (And his language is vague enough that [[Cloudcuckoolander|she replies]] 'your brother [[Mister Seahorse|had a baby]]?!')

* Averted on ''[[Kung Fu]]: The Legend Continues'' when an elevator is stuck between floors with a visibly pregnant woman, a jerk, and Kermit Griffin, a tough guy. The woman gets upset, the jerk is rude to her, and Griffin threatens him for being rude. All are rescued, and the woman does not go into labor.
