Natural births incorrect

When UK footballer Harry Kane announced the arrival of his baby daughter to the world, he was just like any proud dad.

"Our beautiful addition to the family," he tweeted alongside a picture of himself, his partner Kate and their newborn.

"Vivienne Jane Kane. So proud of @KateGoodlandx for having the most amazing water birth with no pain relief at all."

He then went on to add the hashtags #mygirls and #hypnobirthing.

Seems innocent enough, right?

So what about this birth announcement has people so outraged?
No pain relief

If you hadn't guessed already, the reason people were angered by the athlete's tweet was his reference to the fact his partner gave birth without pain relief.

Things were kicked off by broadcaster Julia Hartley-Brewer who tweeted in response: "I’m delighted for @HKane & his family but why on earth should anyone be ‘proud’ of not having pain relief while giving birth? Utterly absurd! There’s a reason why women get pain relief during labour: because it bloody hurts.”

And scores of women were quick to agree with her.

"Should I ask to have my next filling done without an anaesthetic?" tweeted one.

As usual, the internet idiots jump to conclusions without using their brains. The reason for no drugs is to avoid the baby receiving the drugs. Are people unaware that the mother and and baby are connected with an umbilical cord?

Saying that brings to mind my father-in-law (1914-1998). He was allergic to novacaine and would have the dentist just work away without anything to numb the pain. It helped that he had a high threshold for pain and pretty good teeth that did not need a lot of dental work.

I was thinking that the birth was very mild that she did not need any drugs to control any of the usual pain you have when birth does not take place in water.
That is my take on this.
