I hope she didn't make Paul get in the tub with her, that's just gross. Also, barbers used to perform dental work on customers, but we don't let that shit fly anymore, do we?
If you wanna crap out your baby in the guest bathroom that's your business. Personally, I would take my ass to a hospital.
It's her business, but I like my births with a side of nerve block ;) Yeah, I don't buy the 'back in the day' reasoning. Before medicine took over childbirth, women and babies died at a much higher rate. Also, slavery was 'back in the day' and novocaine wasn't used when they pulled teeth. It's all very natural. Gag.
For the fools.. water birth is a less traumatic expereience for the baby. Considering the baby is already in a water environment in the womb, and actively feeding via the tube, all the time during a regular birth gets traumatic. Having no epidural isn't a sign of a huge vag as #9 stupidly posts. Its a sign that you are strong enough to handle it. My wife did both ours non-drugs (although not a water birth). If you can push out a baby without drugs (conditions allowing), then you can reduce the problems of back pain later on after pregnancy. Look it up on back pain after having an epi.
epidurals are for the weak, brain-dead women who don't understand their body creates chemicals that assist them through childbirth. Also Hospitals no NOTHING about birth, just assembly line operations. The hospital is the worst place to have a child
Water birth is one of the most natural ways to have a baby. It allows for a smooth transfer from mother to the world. Really people do some reseaerch before you just shoot your ignorant mouth off. You make yourself look very stupid.
Totally agree #12. The "humor" on this site is just going downhill quickly. First, lets make fun of a woman for having a still birth. Yay dead babies! Then, lets attack a woman b/c she looks like her brother... Boo genetics! Then lets make fun of another woman for looking like her parents *shock*
Really?? THIS is supposed to be funny or even remotely entertaining?
I had an epi (if that wasn't obvious from my previous post) and had no back pain (well I did, from being hunched over a newborn all day for weeks). The actual 'needle in the spine' felt like absolutely nothing at all (maybe I was blinded by the pain). And I doubt my baby could've been born any healthier. I had a very nice experience (I guess, who the hell cares, the baby is alive, healthy and just turned 1) and I gave birth at a huge urban hospital. I guess I'm not that special that I think I need to have this magical birth experience. I'm fine with assembly lines.
I have heard many epidural stories, both good and bad. It's up to the woman to decide what she wants to do. Those who opt without it, more power to you.
Yeah really. All you ignoramuses missed the Ricki Lake trend update. Squeezing junior out while floating in a pool of your own bodily fluids gives you enough parenting points to get through at least 16 of 18 years of leaving the kid home with the nanny while you hit up the gym, the shops and the awards shows. You might even get through 18 years without having to raise a finger if the guy gets in the tub with you. You're guaranteed it if you videotape the whole messy ordeal to play at kiddos graduation.
#16: And not understanding the difference between "no" and "know" is for weak, brain dead women who were too busy getting knocked up behind the gym to bother with their education.
I've seen waterbirths and epidurals and give me the water any day. A much more pleasant experience - mum was up and walking around within the hour. A damn sight better than a numb woman who can't feel her contractions and has to have a 'lift out' and stitches. This was Jennifer's third baby and she must be fit and in good health in order to have a home birth. Massive respect to her.
#19... just because you don't remember doesn't mean that it's good for baby to get distressed with all the drugs running through their system or to end up with a bruised head because of forceps/vacuum because the epidural meant Mom couldn't push the baby out.
A water birth with my own personal midwives would have been better than the fucking broom closet sized room I gave birth in. After the epidural I spent around 5 hours pushing and yeah it was painless at the time but my vag was in tatters afterwards. I was a small girl to begin with but they sewed me up even tighter than I was before and the residual scar tissue made sex excruciatingly painful for a while after.
The US has the 2nd highest mother & baby mortality death rate of all the industrialized nations, it's a fact, look it up. Our health care system is broken, OBGYN's are trained in SURGERY not actual natural child birth as one would believe. Hospitals and insurance/drug companies raise prices and scare the hell out of providers & patients in order to ... wait for it....MAKE MORE $$$$ THIS IS A FACT. All other european nations have births at home abd guess what THEIR DEATH RATES ARE LOWER ACROSS THE BOARD. Good for her, women's bodies are meant to give birth, and with very few acceptions it is perfectly safe to give birth at home. There are numerous nurses who say that they PREFER to work with midwives than OBGYN's. I had both my children in a hospital, know what the DR did to assist??? Catch the baby and note what time they were born, literally that was it. The nurses did all the work. And BTW Agnes is truly a hideous name, poor thing. But kudos for the home birth!!!

Leave Your CommentBirth is probably the only case where more expense does not equal better treatment. Good for her! Midwives do it better.

With a rack like hers, I can't wait to see what pregnancy does to it. Free milk for everyone!

She gave birth without an epidural?? Does that just mean that she has a huge vagina and is a big slut?
By anonymous, on June 8, 2011 06:05:55
Wow Water Birth would be hard, but congrats to her and her husband! She picked a pretty name as well

That is one WRECKED vagina.
Bitch used to be hot.

What, now we're attacking women for the way they decide to give birth ? Jesus, this site is getting fucking rediculous.
And no, I'm not a fat soccer mom eating chips at home all day. So save it.

hospitals are for emergencies NOT BIRTH.

I like how water birth is crazy, but letting someone stick a big fucking needle in your spine isn't.

"traumatic for the baby"
Yeah, nobody remembers their birth and we're lucky if we have a single strong memory before the age of four.

Didn't even know she was pregnant. Why can't more actresses do that?
As for gross men-children who are squicked out by the idea of a woman having a baby, I say the same thing about yo mamma.
