"Our beautiful addition to the family! Vivienne Jane Kane. So proud of @kategoodersxx for having the most amazing water birth with no pain relief at all. #mygirls#hypnobirthing."Radio host Julia Hartley-Brewer took to Twitter following the post to critique Kane's decision to be "proud" of his wife for having no pain relief. She wrote:

"Remember, ladies, if you have an epidural during your labour, you’re a wimp and should be ashamed of yourselves. "And the same goes for all you men having open heart surgery.

However, it's fairly likely that Kane wasn't shaming mothers who gave birth using pain relief, but rather saying that he was proud of his fiancée for not opting for it. And for just, you know, giving birth in general. That's definitely something to be proud of.
