Kourtney Kardashian's Water Birth Doesn't Belong on TV
Kourtney Kardashian plans to make a splash during her delivery -- literally. The reality star has opted for a water birth. That means, instead of heading to the hospital when those contractions kick in, she will fill up the tub or kiddie pool.
Apparently, she was hooked on the idea after seeing one a few weeks back. “Witnessed a water birth last night with @KhloeKardashian. What an experience! All I can say is WOW!” she tweeted.
It's a complete 180 from son Mason's arrival. “Kourtney wants to experience a natural birth with her second child," a friend told Hollywoodlife.com. "Now she feels a lot more confident and feels a natural water birth would be one of the most empowering and magical experiences in her life."

She's not alone. Gisele Bundchen, Pamela Anderson, and Jennifer Connelly are among other celebs mom who opted for it.
Though it's not for me -- I prefer a sterile room where I can't see tile grout that needs to be Tilex'd -- I'm happy she is so happy with her decision. It's all about the mom's state of mind.
I just have one teensy favor on behalf of the TV watching world: PLEASE don't air it on E! We already know way to much about your vajajay, don't ya think? (I am still trying to erase the memory of your sexcapades with Scott Disick on Kourtney & Kim Take New York!)
But alas, I know this is asking too much of the publicity-loving clan. Adds the pal, "Of course Kris thinks it would make for great TV and wants the entire birth to be filmed. If all goes planned, it would air on the season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Kourtney wants everyone to be at her daughter’s birth, and of course big brother Mason!”
Oh well. I guess some things aren't sacred enough to keep from the cameras.
Are you surprised by Kourtney's water birth choice? Would you watch it?

Good for her! I had a home waterbirth 8 weeks ago, and it was amazing. I can't wait to give birth again. :)

She televized the birth of Mason, and it was the most amazing thing, no screaming, she actually reached down and PULLED him the rest of the way out of her vajayjay herself. With all the mommy wars about "natural birth vs hospital birth" that is strewn about here on the Stir, why would you not want her to show how great a water birth can be? You just can't please the bloggers on here at all.

You can have a waterbirth at a hospital, my hospital offers them and I made use of the birth pool (in my very own sterile hospital room) during my labor two weeks ago, though I did not give birth in it.

My hospital doesn't offer waterbirths :( boo! but I think it would be awesome. this will be number 3 all natural for me and I only wish hospitals were a little more relaxed bc anything can happen I perfer to be there over home.

She aired her hospital birth last time why not her home water birth? we need to see more normal birth on t.v.

Fun! I may actually watch this episode. She has money, resources and a healthy body to accomplish this 100%. Go for it.
