Not everybody likes NYC… some people actually hate it and prefer Chicago by far.

As for Gisele, I think she just rocks.

New Yorkers don’t realize how provincial they are.

My baby and I would of died if it werent for medications, they had to knock me out for the C section, so in essence I didnt get to meet him until 3 hrs later. And once I did, I felt all of those above things….

I had a set of twins and 2 10 plus pound babies naturally, the 5th was a section, I begged for it, he was 10 pounds 10 ounces, but I gotta say, I never felt like it was an accomplishment, it was just something you did if the circumstances were right. I just happen to dilate quickly. All’s well that ends well, thats the main thing.

I use drugs for the pain, but I mainly felt relief that it was over and I could finally hold my baby. I wasn’t much for getting there, just excited for the results!
I find it interest that she felt the safest place to give birth was at home. (I’m not critizing, just interested.) I felt completely different. I wanted the sterile, hospital environment. I loved my birth and am glad she loved hers as well.

Hell yeah it’s an accomplishment! I definitely feel that way after giving birth to my daughter. Doesn’t really matter that women “do it everyday”, carrying a baby for 40 weeks (more or less) and then birthing a child (in all fashions… c-section, drugs, no drugs) is a HUGE accomplishment.

I like Gisele too- she’s obviously intelligent and has put her time and money into some good causes, which is pretty rare for a supermodel (Naomi Campbell, anyone?)

I get what she’s saying here, and I don’t have a problem with it. Yes, women have babies everyday, and for each of those women it is a profound experience- she should be able to be excited about it.

I did think it was a bummer that Tom Brady didn’t stay with Bridget Moynihan, but Gisele came after that split. I like Gisele – she seems smart, has opinions and does some environmental charity/water access thing, and gave $1.5M for Haiti relief. She seems really interesting and cool, not just another model.
But she should tell Brady to get a little more focused on the field! GO PATS!

Oh please, there are millions of women who give birth on this planet every day…. it is not an accomplishment for crying out loud. Get over it, Gisele!

As a two-time natural childbirth mom (no drugs), I can relate to her “sense of accomplishment” feelings. You really have to prepare your mind and body for the delivery. It’s like preparing for a marathon. You have to be in shape and your mind totally focused on the prize. When marathon runners feel the pain and burn, do they take pain killers? No. It’s mind over matter, in my opinion. But to each his own. Personally, I didn’t want my babies to be born with drugs in their systems. Nobody knows what causes SIDS, autism, etc. So I see this as taking preventatives measures.
