Jessica Alba Says Birth Was Like Meditation
Jessica Alba and Honor graced the cover of Ok! Magazine this week. Now we finally get to see what that little pumpkin looks like! What a gem! :)
When asked about how she feels about her new daughter, Jessica said it is just a miracle.
"It hasn't totally sunk in. She dreams, she smiles,
and coos and does all these things, but she hasn't seen enough of the
world yet to understand any of that stuff. So I still feel like she's
connected to the other world, or something. There's no other way to
explain it. It's a miracle."
And what about the labor? Felt more like meditation to Jessica.
"The labor was more like meditation," she says. "I did yoga breathing. I was focused."
"I didn't scream," Jessica tells OK! in an exclusive
interview and photoshoot. "It was really Zen."
And Cash could only
marvel at his wife's quiet strength when she gave birth.
"She didn't
make a sound," he says. "It was amazing."

Those 2 just might make to their first anniversary.
Awe they both look sweet!
That baby is not really cute, it looks just like Cash. Please stop with all this celeb baby crap its total overkill now.
Can't she just keep her trap shut! having babies is no miracle puhleeeze. I hope this dumb bitch doesn't reproduce again.
Oh please- she makes me want to wretch! They probably had to use Photoshop just to get that half smile on her miserable face...
Having babies is no miracle??? Have you ever had a baby?????

Yeah sure it was painless!! I went natural all the way, and it hurt like hell and I yelled and screamed. Oh but I was totally zen. Puuleez. But yes it IS 100% a miracle! And the most rewarding thing in the world. And I'm sure EVERY Mom would agree!~

Another Hollywood baby that looks JUST LIKE HER DADDY!!!!!!!
I dont like her much, but I have to say..she made a cute kid, unlike some of the others i've seen(aguilera, jl spears, j-lo)
I had completely natural labor with my son and I didn't yell or scream. The nurses teased me that I was trying for a scientology labor cuz it was 2 days after Suri was born.
I didn't srceam because i was embrassed.

Yeah, right! She didn't make a sound after they gave her the epidural, you mean!
Why is having a baby 'a miracle'? I mean it something ANY WOMAN who has had her period and unprotected sex (or in vetro) can do. Stop thinking your so 'special' cuz you had a kid, big deal the world is not stopping for you nor is anyone really that happy for you. Women need to stop thinking having a baby is all that matters, its sickening. And for OK to say this is a 'miracle baby' is totally insane. A miracle baby is a child born to a mother who was told she would never conceive cuz she had something happen to her ovaries or something of that nature. Nothing less then that is a miracle. Lets not make it more then it is.
You took my words!LOL:)
OK do not appear to call her a "miracle baby" they simply quote jessica saying motherhood is a miracle. Give her a break, even if it is a sugar coated view, what difference does it make?

just like all the 17 little miracles that happened in that MA town to all the teenage girls..right? ;)
First of all, it's in vitro. Second, just because you have had your period and unprotected sex doesn't mean that 'ANY WOMAN' can have children. What a totally ignorant statement.
There are many women out there who are physically unable to conceive and carry a child. My sister is one of them.
Think before you speak.
I never yelled or screamed. It hurt like hell, but I breathed my way through it. Now I eventually got the epidural but that was after 16 hours of labor that I gave in. So not every woman screams.
Just another mexican baby making machine
Yes but hot as hell, if you're a woman, bet you're not half as hot and if you're a man go tell your fat girlfriend this...haha, you Americans are so racist, enjoy your tanking economy and rising gas prices. Oh, did anyone say 'foreclosure'???
How do you know that the person who posted that was American? Not all American's are racist. Thats like saying all Europeans stink and have awful teeth. Grow up.
Europe don't really have Mexican immigrants.Im sure the racist poster is from the USA.
Okay, I was delirious, but I didn't yell or curse my babies daddy out. I can't say I didn't make a sound though, because when my daughter's head was half way out of my womb, I made a noise, a muffled noise, pushing and hearing my pelvis open. Don't like Jessica, but I must admit I admire her strenght!
I didn't scream either - does that make me a wonder woman? I had epidural and they are a wonderful drug - I was laughing and smiling and didn't feel a thing. Too bad the baby look like the daddy. Cash is fugly. Jessica look quite pretty in that pic but every time she open her mouth - it's really hard for me to like her.
I'm impressed she didn't go with a scheduled c-section like most other celebs.
Okay someone explain to me how having a baby is a mircacle. Because as far as I know a miracle is, and I quote "an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause."
Like the other poster said anyone who's had her period can reproduce, hell even a man had a kid that's more of a miracle than this twit pushing one out.
P.S. I do have a kid.
'anyone who's had her period can reproduce' Are people really this uneducated?1?
Have you not heard of a thing called 'infertility'?
There are so many things that can go wrong from pre-conception to birth of a healthy baby. It is a miraculous process indeed. It's sad that people don't realize how precious it is.
A miracle is also defined as "an amazing or wonderful occurrence" which I hope everyone would agree that a new baby is.
I think the way the human body works is a miracle in itself. Like how all our organs do their jobs and everything- it's amazing to me. And how our amazing bodies can produce other little bodies- that is miraculous to me. Just like the other poster said "A miracle is defined as 'an amazing or wonderful occurence'". Life itself is a miracle.

Cute baby. I wish I didn't have back labor with each of my children. Perhaps I could have been zen as well. ;)
whats back labor? was it back pain or spasms?
they're married!?
yes it wasnt a big to do, it was hush hush. a justice of the peace sort of thing. i heard she is planning a bigger wedding though!
they got married at the courthouse about a month ago
Nathiest...
dont remind her she's Mexican...she's anti-latin, remember? lol
I don't have any children (nor do I want any), but I do think babies are miracles and as someone else stated, our bodies are amazing.
I think every baby is a miracle!
Aw come on people, bringing a new life into the world is a miracle....at least in the eyes of every baby's parents. Let her have this moment. Geez.
THE SPANISH OK! COVER LOOKS BETTER, AND CASH IS ON THERE TOO: http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/3629/portadarf8.jpg
How cute is she? This is how I expected J-l's twins to look. Honor is a beautiful name.
Report This! I just red the news on the rich men seeking affairs club !!!***SugarDaddyconnect . c o m and then i came here.

that's not even a half smile!!!!
As the mom of three, I can whole-heartedly agree that every baby born is a little miracle. It is utterly amazing that two cells collide, duplicate and form this perfect little person. To those that can't look at their children and realise just how lucky they are to have that miracle happen to them, I'm sad for you.
To me, it is no big deal not to scream during labor. I never screamed or yelled at anybody in all three labors. I focused on the pain, breathed through it and was even laughing when my second child was born. The epidurals helped, sure, but I didn't get those until I was almost ready to push. And back labor is AWFUL!! It's a lot of pressure and pain on your pelvic bones and spine and there isn't one comfortable position you can get in!
Oh come on.Im not a Jessica fan but new mother thinks it's amazing to give birth.It shows us that she respects it.
They both look cute.Nice cover.
this bitch needs to die. so sick and tired of seeing her. "i just had a baby, it's a miracle! i'm so special!" i don't understand how they "sell their kids". blah!

Aah, it's a miracle we don't get anymore childish posters here (like the one above)! LOL! I'm with ZenMama here, I usually laugh through my pain, it's much better than screaming your head off. Plus, you have other people in the room and while screaming may be a pain relief, believe, me, laughing out loud is too! Every newborn baby is a miracle and it's even better when it is healthy. There is so much that can happen during pregnancy so I can fully understand that Jessica is "in awe". And the little girl looks cute.

I am just glad a celeb FINALLY gave brith as opposed to a planned c-section. Is it me or is she wearing too much makeup here. I am used to seeing her look more natural. Congrats to her!
The baby looks like her father.Jessica looks gorgeous.
Cute baby. Looks like her daddy.
ehh that baby looks worse than my Vagg.
can anyone say "epidural"?!
i played "20 questions" with my husband, sister, mother, doctor and nurses as my daughter was popping out, laughing all the way. Not very "Zen", but fun, and that's a lot better a memory.
oh yeah, and i had an EPIDURAL.
EPIDURAL's are miracles!
PS: My daughter ROCKS!
Kris, maybe it was painless.
Her va-jay-jay could have been really stretched before she even got preggers.
The stuff you read about the births these "celebs" experience is all hype. Are they going to print how it really is? It's all sanitized and most seem to have elective c-sections anyway. No grunting and sweating as they push the little miracle out, let alone the pain. I was discussing birthing experiences with a group of friends the other day, and we had eachother in hysterics. The most amazing thing was how different the experience was for each woman. One had hers at home on the bathroom floor with her 2 year old in attendance, one had an emergency c-section, and a couple had elective c-sections due to possible complications. My best friend screamed at her husband that it was all his fault and she never wanted to see him again! (They are still together.) My two experiences of labour were far less dramatic, and I managed (just) without pain relief, but it certainly wasn't like meditation, and yoga breathing certainly didn't get the job done! It's not called labour for nothing. Yes, when the baby's born, you cannot get over the perfection you have created and it does seem like a miracle, but believe me, the real miracle is being there for that little bundle (and any siblings) for the next 20 odd years, and bringing them up to be decent, compassionate, honest human-beings. That's the real work of becoming a parent.
IT IS A MIRACLE !!! Giving Birth is something Extra ordinary, you know how much it takes to push a Baby out? Lots of effor, power and support I had my first child 3months ago and it was the most amazing and hardest thing that has happend in my LIFE. PUSHING a baby out on your own is not something that every woman can do, and I thank God that I was able to, after giving birth I do fermly SAY WOMAN are FOR USE stronger than man. Than they start growing soooo fast, and the fact that it was something you gave life to it's Amazing.
Anyway the baby looks just like Cash, she very Beautifull congrats to the 2 of them ;)
Ok I have to tell a short story of my baby's delivery.
I was 4 days over due and so I was pushing and my mother was holding my right leg up and all over sudden she turned around and started vomiting, Hahahahaha OMG it was idk what word I can use to dercribe it, but we were laughing so hard after about it, lol. I didnt make a sound either when I waspushing I was very consentrated and I knew that screming would only slow things down cause I would waste my energy on screaming. Than he came out after 6 pushes, he looks like an alien hahahaha than his swelling went down that night :) my husband, goodnes he was A M A Z I N G I couldn't have asked for more of him. I'm a proud young mom :)
True, Jessica Alba's specific baby may not be a miracle. But I don't think that's the point she was trying to make. Sure, any woman can have a baby. But, when you experience true motherhood (not just having a baby you didn't want and taking care of it) but really falling-in-love with your little one -- it IS a miracle! The whole process is really incredible. Some find that hard to believe (maybe because they had a baby they didn't want, was an accident, or weren't ready for, or had to change their dreams for), but babies are miracles (even when they get on your last nerve!) The process of a microscopic, fertilized egg becoming a living, breathing human being is amazing in itself. Then the little one has total trust and faith in you (sometimes unwillingly) but they rely on you to meet their needs they are simply too little to do. Then their innocence is something we as adults can't fathom considering the world we live in today. Then the things they can do - i mean it doesn't seem like much - but it's amazing how they know to do certain things (like eating) from the moment their born without being taught. BABIES ARE MIRACLES, and discrediting that is just taking advantage of the "little things" or "everyday" things of life. Why do you think so many people are uptight, lose their childish imagination, and so forth? Because they start to take advantage of things that they have and obtain everyday. You know, fresh water, food, clothes, a place to live. If you think about it, you're really lucky to have those things because many other people don't. Just try to imagine being a starving person, or a person who has no clean water. And please don't ever say that children (especially those children who were "accidents" -- hey they didn't ask to be irresponsibly brought into this world) aren't miracles. CHILDREN ARE MIRACLES. It's not about this one, it's about all of them. Don't group them as a whole based on your feelins of this one.
P.S. Ronda is right...the spanish picture is MUCH better. Check it out! http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/3629/portadarf8.jpg
