Then again I can see a 1-panel cartoon of the same scene. In this one a husband is standing anxiously nearby. However, instead of worrying about mommy or the baby he is staring at the reader and declaring: "be careful honey, you know how easy the screens on those things break."
I think this would be a great TV commercial:

"Honey, it's time to start pushing."

"But I just wanna finish this chapter!"
