I come down on the side of letting the mother deliver the baby without the handcuffs or leg restraints.
So do I. Having been in labor 4 times, trust me, they aren’t going anywhere.
If guys gave birth, this practice would be abolished in a heart beat. This has nothing to do with doing the crime. this is birth. It doesn’t matter if you’re a prisoner or not. This is not like watching t.v. or eating dinner. This is a physical event. Guard the rooms if you have to. Have the doors locked, something, but a woman should be allowed to give birth without hinderances.
