TheLostalum has been pregnant on television and in real life, and opened up in October about the trying and funny moments of those pregnancies on Dr. Elliot Berlin’sInformed Pregnancypodcast — including the fact that her labor with Vera in March 2016started with less pain than she had anticipated.
“It just switched to the most agonizing pain I’ve ever had in my life … a couple of hours into it,” recalled de Ravin. “Long story short, I was in backlabor for probably abouteight hours after that. Nothing in the front at all. It just 100 percent felt like my back was going to snap in half.”
Her midwife suggested that she go to the hospital for an epidural. “My backup doctor was the most wonderful man in the world. I want him to adopt me,” she joked. “He let me have a full-on vaginal birth. … He did everything manually and justlet me have the birth that I wanted, minus the epidural and minus the hospital.”
De Ravin also shared that when her son arrived, she was going to give home birth a shot again.
“I … really opened my mind to [a home birth],” she said. “I’m really excited aboutplanning to do it at homebut again being open to … having a great backup doctor in case.”
