Kate Mara's Birthing Regrets

Kate Mara has told of her devastation at having to give birth in hospital via a caesarean section, rather than her desired natural birth at home.

The actress and her husband welcomed a daughter last month, a few weeks earlier than planned due to health complications.

Speaking on Dr. Berlin's 'Informed Pregnancy Podcast' the former 'House of Cards' star wrote: "I know a lot of people that have had c-sections that are not planned, that they don't want to have happen. And most of those people, most of my friends, have said, 'I just wanted the baby out. I was actually asking for a c-section.' But to me, it was not like that.

"I kept really calm for most of those three days but right before I went in for the c-section, that's when I sort of felt the devastation of it and the disappointment of not being able to experience a birth any way that I had hoped.

"I was really scared. It was more that I was so scared to have the c-section, to have this surgery.

"I was genuinely terrified of what that meant and what could happen and all of these things, and then of course just being tired made me that much more scared, I think."

Kate added that her fears made her loved ones worry she was having "premonitions" that the surgery wouldn't go well.

She explained: "I was just super sad. I remember that moment very clearly because I burst out crying and was like, 'I'm scared.'

"My mom was there and my husband was there and my mom thought, 'Oh, God.' She didn't tell me this at the time but afterward, once we were all safe and the baby was out, she thought I was having some sort of premonition that something was going to go wrong. She thinks I'm sort of witchy like that, which I can be."
