posted in CelebritiesStacy Keibler is quite proud of having delivered her daughter in a drug-free home birth, but not everyone is up for hearing about it.
In an interview with Ricki Lake for The Business of Being Born, the ex-girlfriend of George Clooney shared of Ava's arrival, "I felt like we went to war together. I kept saying, ‘Ava’s a warrior. I’m a warrior.’ It was one of my mantras that I would say. Then when she came out, I feel like we had this bond that we had just fought together."
Explaining the impact the film had on her and husband Jared Pobre's line of thinking, Stacy Keibler added, "Watching The Business of Being Born changed everything for my husband and I. We really wanted to research midwives and wanted to learn as much as we could about doing things more naturally.”
“If I had to go to the hospital, they pretty much couldn’t do anything unless it was an emergency situation,” she added of her two-page birth plan. “I just want to help educate other women out there because there’s so many choices I didn’t realize I could make.”
While comments on People magazine's story about Stacy Keibler's birth were generally positive, reaction to their tweet of the article was mixed. Take a look at a few of the comments the new mom received:
@people @StacyKeibler - pain is honorable? Really? — Elizabeth A. Covino (@ElizabethCovino) July 15, 2015
@people @StacyKeibler I feel like a warrior and gave birth in a hospital with drugs so — Robyn Meacham (@robzars) July 16, 2015
@people @StacyKeibler omg she isn't the only one...get over herself — Nacondolady (@Condoladycob) July 16, 2015
Just one year ago we asked readers if they felt it was bragging to mention you had a natural birth, and the topic generated a lot of conversation. While many feel all births are something to be proud of, this comment stuck by Jeanine out to me:
"Women who are unhappy or feel guilty about how they gave birth will feel that someone is bragging even when they are not. For some reason they get offended that another mom dares to be happy with her birth experience."
Do you think that's what is really happening here? It's hard to tell from just a small tweet where these commenters are coming from, but something sure seems to be rubbing people the wrong way about this birth story.
Why do you think Stacy Keibler's birth story was met with not-so-nice comments?
