Some people have the misconception that famous individuals are not much different from the rest of us. They assume that famous people eat and sleep regularly and even that celebrity women give birth somewhat normally.
But, some moms believe that giving birth in a hospital is such an old century that they are seeking other methods to usher their children into the world. Giving a child the name "Ever" or "Auto Pilot" could lead others to believe that the child will always be in charge of the circumstance, yet this seems doubtful. In this article, we take a look at some of the odd places where renowned moms have given birth to their children, and we highlight some of the more memorable ones.

Reality actress Jade Roper of "
The Bachelor" said that she had given birth in her master closet at home by mistake. Star was believed to have been holding onto a bench and the wall while pushing out her kid, so at least she had room to work with in the master closet. Thank goodness she was able to give birth in her favorite outfits. The actress was grateful to have her mother-in-law and other relatives there for the birth.

Late Night anchor Seth Meyer revealed live on air that his incredible wife, Alexi Ashe, had given birth in the building's foyer. He joked about how they looked like they were trying to sneak a baby onto an aircraft since her son's head was in her trousers. Such a whiny little brat. Doctors usually advise expecting parents to wait until labor advances before heading to the hospital, but in this case, it seems the parents waited for a little too long.
3. Kourtney Kardashian

We've all heard of couples videoing the birth of their children, but Kourtney Kardashian takes the cake as the most famous reality celebrity to do so. The star's first two children were born on camera in 2009 and 2012, respectively, on the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. When the celebrity mother finally reached down, she pulled out BOTH of her kids, and things got rather graphic. While occasionally expressing frustration and anger at her children, she showed her resilience and overwhelming love for them.
4. Gisele Bundchen

Supermodels, it seems, have children, but not in the same way as the rest of us. Gisele Bundchen had her son in the comfort of her own home, in the bathtub. She reflected that the event proved that "thought over matter" is genuine. According to Bundchen's interview responses, "my kid is closer to coming out" was always on her thoughts throughout labor. It wasn't like, 'oh my god, this is so painful.' Instead, I channeled the intensity into the anticipation of finally seeing him. Truly an incredible tale.

Angelina Jolie, an Oscar winner, is well-known for several things besides her acting. The actress gave birth to her daughter Shiloh in Namibia, and she was so dedicated to having her OB fly from Los Angeles to be there for the birth. To this day, the actress counts her daughter's birth as one of her life's defining moments. Later, when she delivered her son, she underwent a C-section, which she said was OK.

Mariah Carey, pop queen, diva, and mother of two, gave birth to her children in a hospital while listening to a recording of her 1995 live concert because she wanted them to be born during the audience's ovation. According to Parents.com, she told her then-husband, Nick Cannon, to operate the camera and ensure proper lighting. The singer is quite boastful, but after reading several quotes in which she gushes over her greatness, we should have known better.

Mayim Bialik, star of the Big Bang Theory, gave birth to her second son, Frederick, at home as her 2-year-old son, Miles, watched from his high chair. She felt this was a great way to teach her elder son important lessons about life. It's a good idea to encourage sibling bonding, and luckily he was prepared with childbirth recordings. As far as Bialik was concerned, having a baby at a hospital was never an option because she wanted her "beautiful" birthing experience in the setting where she felt most at ease: her own home.

Goldie Hawn tried to help her daughter Kate Hudson picture giving birth by entering the delivery room with enhanced reading glasses and a flower. A mother had her daughter, Hudson, "visualize her (private region) blooming out like a magnolia blossom," as Hudson explained to the press. The actress joked that she didn't want to think about anything about herself expanding to that size. Fortunately, she had a committed group of people by her side throughout the ordeal.
