I feel like this story will probably get a lot of comments, and some of those comments will be attacks against me, so let me just say: I don?t have a dog in this hunt. I have never given birth. I don?t want to give birth. It looks painful, and I have been firmly ensconced in Team Whatever Drugs You Want, Y?All for many, many years. My take really is, ?If you want to give birth without drugs, good for you, and if you want drugs, that?s fine too. Live and let live.?
Now, Gisele has long been a proponent of ?I gave birth naturally and you should too, and there should be laws forcing women to breastfeed for six months at least too.? Well, Gisele has a blog, you know. And she just published a piece called ?Gentle Birth: This Is The Way!? by a midwife named Mayra Calvette. At first I was like, ?Er, this is going to be horribly preachy.? But Gisele actually had a political angle for this ? last month, the Regional Council of Medicine of Rio de Janeiro ?banned the involvement of obstetricians in residential births and also prohibited the use of doulas and midwives during hospital births.? So? Rio?s local government is getting into the judgy-childbirth game too. You can read Calvette?s essay here, and here?s some coverage:
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has used her blog to promote natural child birth. The 32-year-old, who is currently expecting her second child to NFL star Tom Brady, has commissioned a new blog post that supports a woman’s right to a drug-free labour.
The post, written by midwife Mayra Calvette who has spoken on behalf of the five-ft 11-in model in previous blog posts, is titled Gentle Birth: This Is The Way! It discusses a woman’s decision to give birth in her home while being cared for ‘by doulas, midwives and obstetric nurses’.
The blog post, seen on Blog.giselebundchen.com, was sparked last month after the Regional Council of Medicine of Rio de Janeiro’s banned the involvement of obstetricians in residential births. The decision also prohibited the use of doulas and midwives during hospital births.
The post by Ms Calvette, who was present when the model gave birth to her first child Benjamin Rein Brady in December, 2009, reads: ‘These resolutions disregard the most current scientific evidence, the recommendations of WHO and the Ministry of Health. Furthermore, these resolutions do not respect the right of freedom of choice of women, families and from the professionals themselves.’
It aims to discourage the rest of Brazil from following suit with such bans. Ms Calvette, an advocate for the home birth renaissance, delves into the extensive research she has conducted during a project titled the Birth Around The World Project.
‘I traveled through several countries, meeting different cultures and birth models that work,’ she wrote. ‘I realised that the most socially developed countries tend to offer a humane and woman-centered care. Pregnant women have the right to choose their companions during childbirth… have the same room for labour, birth and post partum… and can deny any procedure with her and her baby.’
She visited England, Germany, Holland, Austria, Sweden and New Zealand during her research trip.
The supermodel wrote on her blog in January: ‘When Mayra told me her idea about the [project] I thought it was a beautiful idea and knew that it would be really cool if she could share a little bit of this journey on my blog. I had the opportunity to experience the natural process of birth and it was one of the most life changing experiences for me and very very special!’
The Brazilian stunner, who married her quarterback husband in 2009, is not the first model to have publicly endorsed all-natural births.
Miranda Kerr sparked headlines last month after telling Harper’s Bazaar UK that she opted against epidural anesthesia when she gave birth to her son Flynn. The 29-year-old Victoria’s Secret star told the magazine that she decided to perform a natural birth after watching baby-bonding videos which showed that newborns go straight for the breast if they are without the medication. TheStir.com attracted a heated discussion, with one mother posting: ‘Being a supermodel doesn’t make you an expert.’
[From The Mail]
I totally agree with the politics/legal issues of ?a woman should be able to make her own decisions about childbirth and where she goes and who helps her, etc.? If a woman wants to give birth in a hospital naturally with a doula, then God bless. If a woman wants to be completely zonked out on drugs during an elective C-section, then God bless. I just think it?s a decision every woman needs to make for herself, which is how I feel about all reproductive rights. The answer to these kinds of restrictive laws is not ?No, that?s wrong, MY WAY is better and it should be the only way.? The answer should be: CHOICE. Choice to make whatever decisions you want. I?m fine if Gisele wants to ?recommend? a specific childbirth plan. But just don?t say it?s the only way to go.

Kicking off the work week, Gisele Bundchen was spotted shooting a commercial in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil today (June 18).
The highly-sought-after supermodel showed off her fabulous form as she worked her magic for the cameras while fans and shutterbugs looked on from afar.
Gisele?s flat stomach seems to indicate that the pregnancy rumors may not be true, although over the weekend Ms. Bundchen definitely had a tiny baby bump when she arrived at the Santos Dumont Airport.
In a past interview, Gisele confessed to wanting a bunch of kids, like her parents who had a total of six children. ?I?d be lying if I said no,? she remarked.

Showing off her growing baby bump, Gisele Bundchen was spotted arriving at Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday afternoon (June 17).
The 31-year-old model looked gorgeous donning a black jacket with tight grey leggings and booties while she walked with her crew to the busy terminal.
In career news, the mommy-to-be has a lot of celebrate! She was recently named the highest paid supermodel in 2012 by Forbes magazine for the sixth year in a row.
The stunning Miss Bundchen raked in $45 million from modeling, endorsements, licensing and real estate ventures between May of 2011 and May of 2012, followed by Kate Moss who earned $9.2 million this past year.

Out for an afternoon walk, Gisele Bundchen and her son Benjamin were spotted in Boston, MA today (June 9).
The gorgeous mom looked casual as she and her adorable 2-year-old walked around their neighborhood as the little one rode his tricycle with mom close behind.
In personal news, the 31-year-old star recently announced that she and husband Tom Brady are expecting their second bundle of joy!
A source told Us magazine that, ?"Yes, she is pregnant," adding that the stunner is "three months" along she and her football player husband Tom Brady are "really happy!".

Someone needs to tell Tom Brady to stop putting babies into supermodels. A source tells Us that Gisele Bundchen is pregnant for the second time.
“Yes, she is pregnant,” the source tells Us, adding that the Brazilian catwalker, 31, is “three months” along. “They are really happy!” the source says.
The Victoria’s Secret catwalker begged out of the 13th annual Best Buddies Event in Hyannis Port, Mass. — which Brady chaired — over the weekend. But so far, even three months along, Bundchen barely has a bump to conceal. In a Boston park with Benjamin June 1, she offered a tiny glimpse of a growing belly in a loose-fitting beige top, which she accessorized with skin-tight pants, shades and a scarf.
My god, it’s like anything Tom Brady waves his dick at gets pregnant. I wouldn’t want to be near him if he ever wins a Super Bowl. I hear that’s when he’s at his most fertile.

Finished up with a short stay back in her homeland, Gisele Bundchen was spotted prepping for a departing flight out of Rio de Janeiro's International airport on Wednesday (June 6).
The stunning supermodel was joined by her sister while trekking through the South American terminal after Gisele launched the 'Top Cufa' model contest the previous evening.
The travels come just hours after it was reported that Miss Bundchen is expecting another bundle of joy with her New England Patriots quarterback husband Tom Brady.
According to an Us magazine source, the 32-year-old is three months along with her and Tom's second child together, as the insider dished, ?Yes, she is pregnant. They are really happy!?

Us Weekly is ?confirming? Gisele Bundchen?s second pregnancy. Please don?t think that Gisele has actually said something, or that Tom Brady dropped a quote to Us Weekly. This is still just a rumor, although now it?s a rumor being reported by Us Weekly. And yes, I believe it. I believed it when the Brazilian gossips were first talking about it, and I believed it earlier this week when we were looking at happy family photos of the Bundchen-Brady Clan. These are even more new photos of Gisele, by the way – she was in Brazil, promoting something or other. She wore a loose shirt. Everyone knows: loose shirt = pregnant. Also: I think her face is filling out a little bit, which also equals ?preggo?.
Lil’ Patriot — and/or supermodel! — on board! After a couple weeks of speculation, Gisele Bundchen and husband Tom Brady are expecting their second child together, a source confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.
“Yes, she is pregnant,” the source tells Us, adding that the Brazilian catwalker, 31, is “three months” along. “They are really happy!” the source says.
The baby-to-be will join big brother Benjamin, the couple’s two-year-old son. Bundchen wed the handsome New England Patriots quarterback, 34, in April 2009; he also has a 4-year-old son, Jack, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
The Victoria’s Secret catwalker begged out of the 13th annual Best Buddies Event in Hyannis Port, Mass. — which Brady chaired — over the weekend. But so far, even three months along, Bundchen barely has a bump to conceal. In a Boston park with Benjamin June 1, she offered a tiny glimpse of a growing belly in a loose-fitting beige top, which she accessorized with skin-tight pants, shades and a scarf.
Bundchen — who has made a slew of controversial comments over the years about breastfeeding, her husband’s 2012 Super Bowl loss (she blamed his teammates), her work ethic, the alleged dangers of sunscreen and more — admitted in late 2010 that she wanted to grow her family.
“I want more kids for sure, but I don’t know when,” she told British Vogue, adding that “I have my hands full” with Benjamin and her stepson Jack.
“For Benjamin, his big brother is his hero,” said the 5’11? stunner. “Jack comes in and Benjamin has a big smile. He wants to follow him around. Anything he does, he’s just in awe of him like, ‘Oh my God!’”

Do you think Gis and Tom would do another B-name? Ben and? Britney? Barbara. Betunia. Betty. Beth. Bethany. Bridget. Beatrice. Blanche. Bella. Brooke. Bernadette. Blair. Can you tell that I really hope it?s a little girl? I hope it?s a little girl. I think a baby girl would be an interesting dynamic for Gisele. I think she would be a different kind of mother if she had a daughter. And of course, that little girl would end up modeling. Of course.

Showing off her green thumb, Gisele Bundchen was cycling and plating a tree at Green National Fest in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Monday (June 4).
Pumping her fist and throwing her arms up in the air while cycling, the sexy supermodel looked to be having a blast while cycling in black ballerina flats before planting the first of 50,000 trees for World Environment Day at at the Quinta da Boa Vista public park.
Acting as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Gisele encouraged others to help the environment of her home country by saying, "any citizen can do their part."
Gisele's public appearances will continue tonight when she steps out to participate in the ceremony for the UN environmental award, Champions of the Earth.
Amidst pregnancy rumors, the 31-year-old bombshell brought her son, Benjamin, to the event while her husband, Tom Brady stayed behind.

These are new photos Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady and their son Ben in Boston last week. A few weeks ago, shortly after the Met Gala, rumors began circulating about the state of Gisele Bundchen?s womb. Brazilian tabloids/gossips and fashion blogs began circulating completely unsubstantiated rumors that Gisele and Tom Brady were expecting their second child, and that Gisele is only a few months into the pregnancy but they?re already telling friends and family.
So, can you see any hint of bump on Gisele? I can?t. I guess if it?s still really early for her (first trimester) than she wouldn?t be showing. But would she be wearing skinny jeans (are those even jeans?)? Eh. Whatever is going on with her, she doesn?t look any bigger to me. I guess I should mention that her shirt is loose? but maybe that?s just comfort? Whatever. It wouldn?t surprise me if she was knocked up again, and I think there?s a good possibility that she is considering no one has come out and explicitly denied the rumors. What I do know: Tom and Gisele are really cute with Ben. And Ben has better hair than his dad.
You can see more photos here of Gisele out and about last week.

This is the new cover of Vogue Paris, starring Gisele Bundchen, her crazy butt and some sand. Is it wrong that I kind of like this unconventional cover image? ?Unconventional? in the sense that you usually don?t see this kind of butt-tastic photo on the cover of a women?s magazine. I could totally see it on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, or perhaps one of the fancier men?s magazines. Still, I do like it. I know everyone loves to hate on Gisele (sometimes with good reason, sometimes not), but the woman has a GREAT body, and I would love to have that kind of butt (and thighs). Plus, I just think Gisele looks prettier when she?s got beachy, light, natural styling. When people try to make Gisele look all ?high-fashion? and avant-garde, it?s often a disaster (in my opinion). I wonder how they achieved the sandy butt look? Did Gisele do it herself, or was there some kind of butt-sand wrangler/handler?
Incidentally, Gisele was also named the newest face of David Yurman. My favorite Yurman ads are, without a doubt, the Kate Moss ones. You can see Gisele?s ads here – she looks pretty, but it definitely seems like they?re trying to recreate the Moss ones.
We haven?t talked about Gisele in more than a week, basically since we laughed and laughed at the photos of Gisele and Tom Brady at the Met Gala. It wasn?t that Gisele looked bad – at all. I actually liked her dress, although it was a big boring (and as some of you pointed out, Kristen Stewart wore a surprisingly similar version last year). No, we all laughed at Tom Brady and his surely Gisele-ordered hairstyle. It was pretty rough. Is it unfair to Gisele to blame her for Tom?s hair don?t? I still don?t know. But I still think that they were, at best, embarrassing on the Met Gala red carpet, and at worst, they were completely boring. Neither prospect bodes well.
