We all secretly harbour a fear that our doctor, for some reason, won’t make it to our baby’s birth. But if you thought that that scenario was frightening, picture The Joker delivering your child.

 

Yes, that actually happened for a Tennessee couple during the week!

 

Justin and Brittany Selph attended Henry County Medical Centre on Tuesday, to welcome their third child.

 

While Tuesday was D-day for the Selph family, it also happened to be Halloween – a holiday that their doctor, Paul Locus, takes very seriously.

 

When Justin and Brittany reached the hospital, they were totally unprepared for the scene that greeted them – Dr Locus dressed up as Heath Ledger’s Joker.

 

Everything, from the hair and the green waistcoat down to the terrifying makeup, was right on-point!

 

 

Far from being frightened though, the Selph family got a real kick out of Dr Locus’ costume!

 

In a Facebook post shared by NewsChannel 5 Nashville, the family describe the experience as ‘awesome’.

 

Accompanying photos, meanwhile, show Dr Locus posing during the delivery, bringing Baby Selph into the world and then cutting her cord.

 

Justin and Brittany’s daughter, Oaklyn Saige, was born at 8:20pm on October 31.

 

As you can imagine, the post has garnered plenty of attention and love on Facebook, with people branding the scene as ‘cool but creepy’.

 

“Just wondering…Was the doctor on the way to a Halloween party? Makes a great story, regardless. Congrats on a beautiful and healthy baby!” wrote one woman.

 

 

Others were a little taken aback by the scene, however, with another chiming in: “Personally, I don’t think I’d want The Joker between my legs while giving birth, but it does make a cool story.”

 

Oaklyn’s grandmother, Sheri Selph, took to the comment section to give further insight into the memorable day.

 

“So cool to see everyone excited about my granddaughter’s birth!” she wrote.

 

“Good fun to talk about instead of the nightmares normally circulating daily on the news. Good laugh for everyone!

 

“Look, Oaklyn, you’ve just entered the world and already you’re famous! Grandma loves you!”

 

Well, mums, would you be cool with The Joker delivering your baby? Let us know!
