Ashley Graham delivered her son, Isaac, in a birthing pool inside her Brooklyn, New York City home in 2020. She just announced she also gave birth to twin boys at home on January 7.

“I have to say, now that I gave birth and I did it naturally and I felt everything, I feel like there’s nothing I can’t do,” Graham said in an episode of her podcast Pretty Big Deal, according to Shape, after giving birth to her first son in January 2020. “There’s nothing that could come my way where I say, ‘Oh, that’s too hard, I can’t handle that.’ I went through labouring for six hours naturally at home.”

On January 7, Graham announced she had given birth to twin boys while labouring at home alongside her husband, Justin Ervin.

“Justin and I are so excited to share that our baby boys are here,” she wrote in an Instagram story. “They were born early this morning at home and are happy and healthy.”

Hilary Duff gave birth to her second child, daughter Banks Violet, at home in Los Angeles.

During a 2020 tour of her home for Architectural Digest, Duff showed the room where she delivered her daughter.

According to People, Duff told Dr. Elliot Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy podcast that giving birth at home was an overall positive, though lengthy, experience. After being in labour “for a really long time”, the Younger star said it took about five full pushes to give birth to her daughter.

In the end, Duff said she “would totally do it again”.

3. Kehlani

Last March, Kehlani gave birth to her first child, Adela, at home in her own bathroom.

“Unmedicated home birth was the absolute hardest yet most powerful thing I’ve ever done,” Kehlani wrote on Instagram, according to USA Today. “Thankful beyond words. In love beyond comparison.”

Kehlani also called out the controversy that exists when it comes to choosing to give birth at home.

“All birth is extremely hard and transformative,” Kehlani wrote on Twitter. “Homebirth is a medical decision as is hospital birth … Using my experience to shame another’s isn’t what I want, power to anyone who brings life forth, it’s a next-level journey whichever way.”

4. Cindy Crawford

According to Today, the supermodel opened up about her home birth experience during an Instagram Live interview with Carson Meyer, a doula based in Malibu, California.

“I never considered home birth. I never thought about it,” Crawford said in the interview.

However, after building a relationship with a midwife and learning more about home birth, Crawford decided to go ahead with the idea to have both Presley, now 22, and Kaia, now 20, at home.

“I would never push anyone or talk anyone into doing home birth,” Crawford said. “I just think it’s nice to know it’s an option that is available.”

Momoa even recounts the dramatic day he realised he might miss Lola’s birth. According to USA Today, the actor fell asleep while on location filming the series Stargate Atlantis.

Momoa made it just in time for the birth, with two hours to spare.

10. Maya Rudolph

Maya Rudolph gave birth to her second child, Lucille, at home … although that wasn’t the plan. According to an interview on Chelsea Lately in 2020, Rudolph didn’t intend on ever having a home birth, and it was quite unexpected.

“[A home birth] was not my plan, but that’s what happened … because the baby came out really fast. Luckily, she just kind of glided into her father’s arms. It was scary, but it was kind of awesome. Hospitals make me nervous because I feel like hospital equals death, like it smells like dead people and weird fluids that pickle people,” she said.

11. Jennifer Connelly

Jennifer Connelly had a home birth in 2011. According to E! Online, Connelly, who is married to actor Paul Bettany, had a scheduled water birth to welcome daughter Agnes Lark Bettany into the world.

“Like many women, I gave birth to her at home,” the actress told Us Weekly at a charity event that year. “But unlike many women around the world, my birth was attended by a skilled midwife. I am very excited to be here to support Save the Children to support mothers around the world that don’t have access to health care.”

12. Alexi Ashe

This experience definitely isn’t a typical home birth. According to Meyers himself on NBC’s Late Night, and again in his comedy special Lobby Baby, Ashe gave birth to their son, Axel, in the lobby of the couple’s apartment building.

According to The Washington Post, the birth was so unexpected that neighbours brought out hot towels and the umbilical cord was cut by a member of the New York City Fire Department.

After the ordeal, the couple welcomed their third child, a daughter named Adelaide, in September 2021. The couple chose to give birth at home with the help of a midwife in their home bathtub.
