Gisele & Tom
As most already know, world famous super model Gisele mostly famous for her Victoria Secret spreads, as well as her marriage to internationally known super quarterback for the New England Patriots Tom Brady. For months Gisele and Tom kept their news of a baby joining their family under lock and key, but now that not only the public knows there is a baby, but the baby has been born, Gisele decided to open up about not only the baby Benjamin, but about her birth experience.
While not many details were given, Gisele did give a couple small comments that identified her birth as a water birth in the penthouse she shared with her husband.
Which is not the first celebrity we have seen that has chosen a home birth for themselves. With the hospital system the way they currently are, just like most others, celebrity moms are opting for out of hospital deliveries.
We have seen this with such celebrities as Ricki Lake, Pamela Anderson, Cindy Crawford, Demi Moore, Erykah Badu, Kelly Preston, and the list goes on. A full list of most celebrity home births can be found here.
But I applaud Gisele for breaking the stereotypical super model birth plan of scheduled inductions and elective cesarean sections. Good job for choosing a great path to birth, and one that fit you and your wishes for the birth of your child.

The big thing I was waiting to hear about is that it was a midwife attended birth. I believe her husband, mother, and midwife were present from an interview I read. Good for her and her choices.

I also read that she said the birth didn’t hurt. Wow. Now THAT is something you don’t hear much either!
