Beautiful Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio has given birth to her second child, a baby boy. Ambrosio already has one child, a girl, Anja. With a name like Anja, you just know that Alessandra is going to get creative. Her baby boy will probably have some kind of hippy-dippy name like Free, or Tree, or Tofu.

What's this? Alessandra and her fiance, Jamie Mazur, went with something a bit more old-fashioned? Hey, isn't this like the third celebrity in a row to give their kid a vintage name? This is getting kind of boring.

Anyway, Alessandra's baby boy is named ...

By the 9th month of pregnancy most women are over the "I'm pregnant!" bliss phase and are trying everything they can to just get that baby out of there. They jump up and down, have sex, stuff themselves with pineapple, force some cod liver oil down -- anything they can to start labor.

But once labor actually starts, many of us start wishing we could keep the baby in. Whether it's out of fear or pain, delerium or ecstasy, sometimes the craziest things come out of our mouths as our precious baby enters into the world.

Here are some of the funniest things women have admitted to saying during labor and delivery ...

Hilary Duff's pregnancy was so much fun to follow because she's incredibly sweet, down-to-earth, and she is such a "normal" gal, despite her celeb status. And I loved her even more after she welcomed her son, Luca, a few weeks ago and tweeted about how much her life had changed while she was up feeding him in the middle of the night. (Finally a famous mom admits to being exhausted.)

Hilary was one celeb mom I could really relate to -- but then she had to go ahead and admit that she saved her son's umbilical cord stump in a Ziploc bag, and has it hidden in her makeup drawer. (Um -- excuse me?) Please tell me I'm not the only person who finds treating a rotting body part as a keepsake just a little bit strange.

Having a big baby is not too big of a deal lately especially since it seems to be more and more common. Remember the 15.5-pound baby? But 26-year-old Michigan mom Crista Hebel not only had what most consider a large baby weighing 12 pounds, 3 ounces ... her baby was four weeks premature.

Hebel went into labor while being treated for dehydration and delivered her preemie via c-section at Munson Medical Center. Her due date was May 5.

Ok, you may want to sit down before reading this post, because you're really not going to believe what happened to the mother of a newborn baby in Argentina.

Analia Bouter suffered every mom's worst nightmare when she went into premature labor and delivered her baby girl three months too early. Sadly, doctors said the newborn girl was stillborn and "showed no signs of life" after delivery, so they pronounced the baby dead. She was taken away immediately, and her mother never got to see her.

I'm sure you can imagine just how devastated Analia and her husband must have been, but even 12 hours after their baby girl died, she insisted on seeing her child just one last time.

And that's when a true miracle happened.

Some women make giving birth look so easy. Like the mama who delivered her baby in 10 minutes while on board a ferry. Labor? Yeah, no big thing for her. We humans actually have it a lot easier than most animals -- the octopus dies after birth and the sloth not only births upside down, but then is still physically attached for the next six weeks to baby who never lets go.

Crazy. Lucky, perhaps. Our ability to birth is amazing. We just have to trust that ability ... or you know, get stuck somewhere far from the hospital when it's go-time so we have no choice. This mom proves that it's totally okay if you have your baby somewhere unplanned ... like right there in your car. Because she did it in the front seat while her husband sped through town.

Olivia Norton's mother had a suspicion that something was wrong when she stopped feeling her baby kick. Three days later, when nurses still couldn't spot any movement, doctors performed an emergency C-section and delivered Olivia six weeks early. She was just 5 pounds 3 ounces at birth, with her heartbeat dipping dangerously low—but that wasn't what shocked the medical staff.

Olivia was also completely "ghost white" in appearance, because her body had no blood whatsoever.

It sounds like something from a vampire novel, but this really happened: Olivia had such a low count of hemoglobin, it could not officially be classified as blood. Her condition was so dire, the little girl was given less than two hours to live.

Very often we tout how safe birth is, how it is a very natural thing that our bodies can do. And that is true ... mostly. Yet in a country as advanced as America, where we are able to invent computers and have cars that can park themselves, our maternal death rate is 16.7 per 100,000 births. That's more than Poland and Serbia combined. Each day, 1,000 women die in labor worldwide.

This is cause for alarm. Why are so many American women dying in childbirth? Is it the seeming rise in preeclampsia, a potentially deadly pregnancy disease, which I had? Is it the rising c-section rate? Is it negligence?

I cannot help but feel that we in America aren't doing enough to take care of mothers or children. Or are we just not educating ourselves enough in the things that really matter?
