posted in CelebritiesFrom "miraculous" to "horrendous," there are hundreds of ways I've heard childbirth described over the years, and yet Evan Rachel Woods has come up a descriptor unlike any other.
The actress, who welcomed a son in July of 2013 with then-husband Jamie Bell, has opened up about giving birth and her plans to add to her family to Net-A-Porter’s The Edit, and it turns out she has more kids but not another pregnancy in mind.
"I don’t want to have another baby, but my little sister is adopted, and I was hoping that one day I could do that," Evan Rachel Woods explained. "There are so many possibilities."
Still, it seems she fondly recalls her candlelit home birth.
“It was a psychedelic experience," the actress said of how her son (whose name has never been publicly revealed) came into the world. "I felt like I was hitting every corner of the room. Everything was vibrating."
That sounds a little crazy to me to characterize it that way, but then again I certainly felt my mind and body go to places they'd never been before while I was in labor. I suppose, if the mood was right, I could see how it might feel that way.
Still, it's not the first word I'd use to describe childbirth as I experienced it. Something more like "awesome" is better fitting -- but in the "causing feelings of fear and wonder" definition more than the "whoa, cool dude" variant.
