I don't care what a woman is doing. NEITHER GENDER has a right to put their hands on each other PERIOD!
If having a baby is too much for a woman, there's a simple solution, don't have one!
If you as a man, feel that your woman is prone to hit you in the delivery room, then don't give her a baby!
Either way, they are both wrong, barring this incident, if it would have happened to me at any other moment, she would have been going away in handcuffs. This kind of behavior continues because MEN ALLOW IT.
I honestly can't believe that some people are this clueless. Seriously. First of all, how many times have you ever heard of this happening? For me - once. This thread. Now, either you don't hear about this happening because it usually doesn't or because when it does, nobody cares. Like I said before, if my husband slapped me while he was in extreme pain and out of his head - I wouldn't hold it against him and I certainly wouldn't go on the internet to talk about it.

The problem is, she wouldn't know until she actually has it. Then she could decide not to have another, definitely.
IDK, maybe I'm off track here, but I always thought that the important thing in giving birth is to keep both the mom and the baby safe. It's freaky the kinds of complications I've heard about. You want both to come through alive, and you want both to come through it healthy. Maybe everyone playing a supporting role should focus on that. I'm not saying that getting smacked in the middle of it while trying to help wouldn't be a shock. But I'd try to stay focused on the job at hand. And then maybe after everyone's back home, and recovered, and has slept and eaten, and feels human again, and the baby's stable and all, then the stories can come out, the experience can be discussed, laughs can be had, apologies given, along with congratulations, let's not forget that.
I haven't been through this with anyone, yet, but at least now I know what to be ready for.
If my husband was out of his mind with pain and we were in the hospital - I would totally understand if he hit me and would forgive him. My husband has never hit me and would never hit me in his right mind. If he hit me - it would be because of something out of his control. I would not consider that domestic violence.
Neither would I.
I can't remember who did this... but they scared me... on purpose. Success. I clip them in the jaw.
There are unique circumstances where it is understandable that someone might not have complete control over their automatic responses.
If I slapped my husband during labor, he would be telling that story to anyone who would listen for years to come.

Yes, so why is he offended by being slapped when she is pushing a parasite out of her? Can I call babies parasites?
LOL. I saw some show on Discovery (back when they did documentaries ), and yes, "parasite" is fair.

come on, it's giving birth.....if I ever made a woman go through that, from what I've seen, getting kicked in the bawls would be acceptable.
