Gisele Bundchen: Childbirth “Didn’t Hurt In the Slightest”
Two months after giving birth to her son Benjamin the supermodel, who had a home birth in a bathtub says giving birth “didn’t hurt in the slightest.”
The model gave birth in her home in Boston with her husband Tom Brady, her mom, and a midwife by her side. “My delivery was in a bath tub, in water,” said the 29-year-old. “I wanted to have a home birth. I wanted to be very aware and present during the birth… I didn’t want to be drugged up.”
Gisele added, “So I did a lot of preparation, I did yoga and meditation, so I managed to have a very tranquil birth at home.”
While speaking to the Brazilian TV channel Fantasticoshe she remarked, “It didn’t hurt in the slightest. The whole time my mind was focused in each contraction on the thought ‘my baby is closer to coming out. It wasn’t like ‘this is so painful. So I transformed that intense feeling into a hope of seeing him.”
When it comes to being a mother, she says, “It’s wonderful. You hear people talking about it, but you don’t know until it happens to you. I couldn’t be happier.”
Benjamin is Gisele’s first child with her husband Tom Brady. Tom has a 2 year old son with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

Who cares what she says… Childbirth does hurt… that’s a fact. She claims she transformed that intense feeling…What intense feeling… PAIN??? I think so. My sister barely made it to the hospital and her baby was out in 45 minutes from her first contraction. Lucky Gisele it looks like she was apparently born perfect. I unlike my sister had 36 hours of labor along with pitosin to help my cervix dilate. They talk about how women have been doing this since the beginning of time with no help… well I wonder what the mortality rate was back then for both mother and baby. I probably would have died in childbirth if not for the hospital and doctors. Also, epidurals do not make you feel all drugged up… get the facts first Gisele before you go running your mouth with lies.
