The supermodel wouldn't let her hubby leave the room during the 27-hour-long childbirth process.
They say childbirth is pretty hard, that it's not exactly a comfortable, pleasant experience for the mother. However, for some reason when we heard supermodel-mommy Miranda Kerr's childbirth tale, we ended up feeling bad for her actor-hubby, Orlando Bloom. Wonder why. According to the Daily Mail, Miranda told Conan O'Brien she was in labor for a whopping 27 hours. And where was Orlando? "I wouldn't even let him leave during it," she chuckled. "He had to pee in a bottle. He stayed there the whole time."
How childbirth classes can improve your shared pregnancy experience.

In other words, we weren't born knowing how to love—we learn it.

New mothers rarely boast that giving birth is as satisfying as the quickie that left them with forty extra pounds, stretch marks and–of course –a bundle of joy.
However, Orgasmic Birth, Debra Pascali-Bonaro’s new documentary (completely unrelated to sadomasochism, by the way) is quickly closing the public’s perception of a nine-month gap between pleasure and pain. The film follows 11 pregnant women in their exploration of various labor options, and ultimately asserts that childbirth can be as sexually stimulating as the child’s conception–and even result in orgasm.
