Another trope I fear has passed out of American culture: men buying a box of cigars and passing them out to male friends to celebrate their wife birthing their child

(related to the trope of a man pacing in the hospital waiting room while his wife gives birth, in turn related to both the midcentury practice of hospital births under the god-like professional supervision of [male] doctors with civilians excluded AND the historical human norm of not simply assuming that mother or child would survive any given birthing)
