Hilary Duff’s Intimate Photos From Her Daughter Mae’s Home Birth Are Gorgeous
Hilary Duff and her husband, Matthew Koma, welcomed their daughter Mae into the world a few months ago, and Hilary just shared some stunning photos from her home birth. In a lengthy caption accompanying the pics, Hilary wrote, “Feeling ready to share some photos of Mae Mae’s birth day!!! For me to feel safe during birth and get to where I need to go, it’s crucial to have the right support system. The perfect amount of space, counter-pressure, humor, stillness, and people that support my power. My hubby is the most calm anchor in the room when I feel like climbing the walls and my little Molly is an extraordinary doula who sat with me when I needed to be still and quiet. She quite enjoyed the fact that I was sitting on doggy puddle pads as my water had broken hours before. ??”
Hilary added that her own mom was there “to make all the snacks and watch with a big nervous smile as her baby brings her a new grandbaby earthside” and said that “the help that I have to support my other children while I am not able is maybe the most comforting thought of all. All hands on deck. Forever lol.”
She ended her post writing, “This is hard work…every way a woman brings a baby in is. From getting pregnant, to C-sections, hospital or home births, the breastfeeding journey (oy vey that one gets me every time) and raising these little beings responsibly to be stand-up, confident, kind citizens of the world. It’s completely consuming. A tedious, magical, miraculous adventure…so cheers almighty mothers. You make mountains move daily. ??”
Congrats again to Hilary and Matthew on the birth of Mae!
