Yeah, I just about lost it with my second. He was supposed to be a planned c-sec but came early. My mother was supposed to be my secondary birthing partner - largely for help with the spinal epidural as my DH is a needle wimp at even the most basic level.
I had also had terrible, terrible complications after my first emergency c-sec, so I was in a real state. Not having seen the show, I can't comment on what the woman did, but I'm not normally an out-of-control kind of person...
