One born every minute...

So I'm watching this documentary on SBS called "One Born Every Minute". It won a BAFTA for best documentary and it shows what women go through during child birth.

Anyway, one particular lady is in labour with her second child. She had complications during the birth of her first child and after being in labour for 30 hours (or something crazy long), they had to do a C-section. Now that she's having her second kid, she's scared the same thing's going to happen again.

If tv screens could open, I'd reach in and slap her boofhead husband. She's been in labour for 9 hours and he goes:

"It's going to be the same as last time, we're going to be here until tomorrow, then you're going to go from 8 cm to 1cm, then 9 cm and then to 1 cm and then we're going to have to do the c-section like last time. If you'd just been firm from day 1 and said "I want to have a c-section" then we could have booked it then and you wouldn't be going through this again. It's your own doing. Millions of people do this every day. What is it? Do you have a low pain threshold, is that it?"

Are you freaking kidding me?
