'Give ME the epidural!' Orlando Bloom struggled to deal with seeing me in pain during labour, reveals Miranda Kerr

By Andrea Magrath


Painful for some: Miranda Kerr has revealed that her husband Orlando Bloom asked if he could get an epidural during the birth of their son Flynn


For many soon-to-be fathers, watching their partners go through labour and feeling helpless is tormenting.

Miranda Kerr has revealed that her husband Orlando Bloom came up with a novel way for him to be able to deal with seeing her in so much pain during the birth of their baby Flynn.

As his wife had refused drugs, the actor suggested that he could perhaps have an epidural instead.

Big baby: Miranda says she didn't expect Flynn, who weighed in at over 10lbs, to be such a big baby and admits she was 'crazy' to go without an epidural


In a revealing interview with Australian television program Sunday Night, the supermodel discussed her previously revealed stance on having a natural birth.

'I had made the decision to not have any drugs, no epidural, nothing,' the 28-year-old said.

'Each to their own. I'm crazy for doing that! A lot of my friends who have had epidurals have said, "Oh (labour) was so great".'

Give me the drugs! The supermodel reveals that husband Orlando joked that he should be allowed to have the epidural as it pained him to see Miranda in turmoil


Asked if her resolve wavered at any point during the labour, she admitted: 'I remember looking at Orlando and saying "Oh honey."'

'And he said, "Give me the epidural! Seriously, if you don't want it I'll take it because right now I'm dying watching you go through this pain".'

'I didn't realise (Flynn) was going to be such a big baby.'

Not love at first sight: Miranda says it was Orlando's 'persistence' that finally won her over, and that she was reluctant to date a movie star


Miranda also revealed that it was not love at first sight when she met Orlando, 34.

'I think it was his persistence,' she said. 'Maybe he wanted me because he thought he couldn't have me.'

Asked if his movie star status put him off, she admitted: 'I was reluctant - not about him, but the idea of that (him being a movie star).'

It was during the Sunday Night interview that Miranda revealed the tragic inspiration behind Flynn's middle name.

Growing brood? She says she 'always thought I'd have three children,' but wants to focus on Flynn for now


Close to tears, the Australian model as she discussed her teenage boyfriend Christopher, who died in a car accident shortly after Miranda moved to Brisbane from their country town of Gunnedah.

Miranda said: 'He was my first love. We were young and we talked about everything; having kids and getting married.

'He died so instantly. It was quite a shock.

'I wrote him a letter after he died, saying I would name my first child after him and that is what I have done. 'Orlando was very kind and understanding. He said if you want, you can do that.'

Tragic love: Miranda tearfully discussed her teen boyfriend Christopher, who died in a car accident when they were 15

Tribute: Miranda named Flynn after him, giving the baby Christopher as a middle name


She said she thought Christopher would be proud of her if he were still alive.
Right now, Miranda rates her life as: 'ten-out-of-ten happy.'

As to having more children, Miranda said: 'I always thought I would have three. Right now I'm just trying to enjoy Flynn.

'They say the first three years are the most important, so I want to make sure that he gets the attention and the nurturing and love that he really needs. so we'll see what happens.

Reunion: The program surprised Miranda by flying her grandparents out to LA to meet Flynn for the first time

Planning to dance the night away? Miranda Kerr channels a prima ballerina

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

White swan: Model Miranda Kerr looks ballet ready as she and actor Orlando Bloom arrive at the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Costume Institute Gala in New York this evening


Orlando Bloom recently described his wife Miranda Kerr as his 'lioness.'

But she looked more like a prima ballerina as she arrived at the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Costume Institute Gala in New York City this evening.

With her brown hair pulled back into a neat chignon, the 28-year-old Victoria's Secret model resembled a cast member for the ballet Swan Lake in a white strapless tulle and lace creation which flared outwards at the waist.


Dressed for success: Miranda posed in a white lace and tulle ballet style dress, complete with matching purse and ornate lace shoes


A matching jewelled purse and ornate laced shoes completed her look.
They couple seemed happy and relaxed as they posed for photographs on the red carpet.

Perhaps they were looking forward to a night off from looking after their baby son Flynn who was born in January.

Miranda has already returned to work as a model, much to the surprise of her husband.


All smiles: The proud parents of four-month-old Flynn looked relaxed as they enjoyed a night off from baby duty


'She is a little insane,' he recently told Ellen DeGeneres. 'She’s of her own mind.'
He also paid tribute to the model's svelte appearance following the birth of Flynn.

'It’s genetics. It’s amazing,' he said. 'She looks incredible, a lot of breast-feeding.'

Meanwhile, the 34-year-old star is also returning to work after a four year break from the big screen.

He stars alongside Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney in Sympathy for Delicious.

The film is about an actor who lost the use of his legs after a rock-climbing accident, in which Orlando plays a potty-mouthed punk rocker appropriately called, The Stain.

Blooming adorable! Doting dad Orlando jets off with bouncing baby Flynn

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Precious cargo: Baby Flynn and his father Orlando Bloom create the cutest picture as they go through airport security at LAX today


There's nothing that can melt a woman's heart quite like the sight of a handsome man holding a baby, and you can double the effect if that man is Orlando Bloom.

However Bloom, 33 , is pipped to the post when it comes to bagging the laurels for cutest chap in these pictures, by his adorable baby son Flynn.

The three-month-old darling pulled a range of inquisitive faces as he navigated LAX airport with Canterbury-born Bloom today.


Inquisitive: He may only be three-months-old but Flynn Bloom was keen to see what was going on around him at LAX


Flynn's almond eyes and even features mirror those of his beautiful mother, Miranda Kerr, 27 , who walked behind her men with a friend.

The Australian model showed off her enviable post-pregnancy physique in a pair of rubber-effect leggings.

She's already braving bikini shoots for Victoria Secret, just months after what she describes as 'a long, arduous and difficult labour.'


Tight grip: Proud father Bloom holds on tight to baby Flynn as they arrive at LAX


What's her secret? Miranda Kerr has her bikini body back after just three months


Flynn arrived on January 6th, weighing a healthy 9lbs 12 oz.

Kerr told People magazine: 'I gave birth to him naturally; without any pain medication and it was a long, arduous and difficult labour, but Orlando was with me the whole time supporting and guiding me through it. I could not have done it without him.'


Baby on board: Flynn gets a good view from daddy's shoulder



Only way to travel: Flynn is shisked through the airport
