Most moms-to-be, though they can’t wait to meet their little ones, get very worried and anxious about the pangs of labour.
Thankfully, science has made it possible for women to receive medication that can make the experience less painful. Still, some mothers prefer to have a natural birth totally devoid of any form of drugs. Keshia Knight-Pulliam clearly doesn’t belong to this group.
The 37 year-old former child-actress got very candid about her preference on the last episode of her weekly podcast – Kandidly Keshia, saying she doesn’t was a natural birth.
“I am very clear: I want all the drugs. I have good insurance. I want every drug you could give me. I want to be smiling. I do not want to feel a human come through my vagina. I have no judgment for women who want to do [a natural birth] — more power to you — but I’m clear on who I am and that isn’t who I am. I am a punk for pain.”
The mom-to-be who is expecting her first child – a daughter, with estranged husband, Ed Hartwell, also talked about how she plans to juggle motherhood alongside her career.
“You’ve got to be flexible,” she said. “I know my first priority is motherhood and everything else follows. I’ve always envisioned myself as very much an active mom, one who’s still working.
“I’m going to strap this baby on, we’re going to put it in the stroller and we’re going to keep it moving. The first couple months is just about baby and then I feel like you find your balance slowly as you’re in the midst of it.”
Though the Cosby Show star is basking in the joys of pregnancy, she is also embroiled in a legal battle with her estranged husband, who filed for a divorce and demanded a paternity test the same week Keshia announced she was pregnant.
According to US Weekly, Keshia is accusing Ed Hartwell of ‘plotting to harm’ and ‘obstruct’ her pregnancy.
