Supermodel Karolína Kurková Says Her Natural Home Birth Wasn’t Really That Bad

Karolína KurkováSupermodel Karolína Kurková, who you may recognize from those Victoria’s Secret catalogues, welcomed her child Tobin Jack just three years ago. But when reflecting on her natural home birth — which took place in her fancy Tribeca apartment — the mother maintains that she actually didn’t think she was going to die. You hear that, Miranda Kerr?

The 28-year-old’s birth reportedly lasted two and a half hours. She and husband Archie Drury had the trifecta of natural birth happening: birthing pool, midwife, and doula. With her husband mixing up ”green juice and coconut water” for his wife in the background, the couple ultimately welcomed their son:

”[For] centuries, women have been giving birth naturally and I think your body adjusts to it and you get into a zone…It’s not like, ”˜Oh my God, it’s a pain. I’m dying, I’m dying,’” the supermodel coach of The Face says. ”It was so gradual you just kind of deal with it. You get in a zone, you really focus on helping this child to come out.”

As is the natural birth custom (at least based on all those home-birthing videos I know you all are watching), once Tobin was born he went straight to mommy Karolína’s chest. Even a few years later, now that Tobin is a toddler,  Karolína maintains that she would “absolutely” do the whole home-birthing bit all over again. And considering that it didn’t hurt like hell for her, why not?
