Celebrity Baby Deliveries – Top 5 Trends and Photo Gallery

There are many ways to bring babies into the world, and leave it to Hollywood to showcase them all! With the arrival of Jennifer Connelly’s new daughter Agnes Lark, take a look at the top 5 trends in celebrity baby birthing.

1. Home Births. Hospitals can be scary, uncomfortable places for some, which makes it no surprise that stars like Alyson Hannigan, Maria Bello, Nelly Furtado and Mayim Bialik all chose to give birth in the comfort of their own home, with midwives and doulas rather than doctors.

2. Water Births. Water births are a long-standing trend in delivery. Jennifer Connelly, Pamela Anderson and Gisele Bundchen are just three big names who have elected to have their babies at home in bathtubs or birthing pools, and who are endorsing the practice as beneficial for both mother and baby.

3. Hypnobirths. Jessica Alba is bringing the hypnobirth trend to the forefront after announcing that she intends to use this method of breathing techniques and calming mantras to help cope with the pain of labour.

4. Scheduled C-Sections. Blame it on a busy schedule or doctor’s orders, Victoria Beckham, Madonna and Elizabeth Hurley have each had their reasons for having scheduled early c-sections rather than waiting for labour to occur naturally.

5. Surrogacy. In the list of moms who’ve earned their title with the help of a surrogate, Sarah Jessica Parker leads the pack with twin daughters Tabitha and Marion. Following closely on her heels is Nicole Kidman who recently welcomed daughter Faith Margaret. Camille Grammar, Neil Patrick Harris, Ricky Martin and Elton John became parents through surrogacy.
