Evangeline Lilly: I Wanted a Natural Birth

Evangeline Lilly knows how to hold her ground.

The actress opted for a home birth for the delivery of her son last May, and was determined to see it through — despite the unexpected timeline.

“I actually skipped the hospital … We decided to have the baby at home because we wanted it to be a natural birth, and it turns out that it was 30 hours of natural,” the Real Steel star, 32, explained during a Monday appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

“Eight hours of pushing, that’s the part that men don’t understand. Women go, ‘Oh, dear, oh, dear God, eight hours of pushing?’ And the men are like, ‘Okay, eight hours of pushing.’”

Fortunately for the former Lost star, her midwife eventually stepped in to save the day, much to Lilly’s relief.

Jane Krakowski‘s favorite fragrance? Baby.

“My new favorite smell is new baby smell. It makes me so happy. If someone could bottle that, I’d love to have it,”  the 30 Rock star — mom to son Bennett Robert – told reporters Thursday at Sephora’s Sensorium event in New York City.

“[I'm] kind of amazed sometimes, with some of the scents that come from my son,” jokes Krakowski, 42.

“It’s funny — when it’s your child, those things don’t smell bad.”

And Bennett, now 5 months, is meeting all his milestones. “He can poo, he can dribble and he’s teething, all right on target,” the actress says proudly.
