Mandy Moore's Wild Birth Story: Laughing Through Geriatric Pregnancy

0:00Mandy Moore just dropped a Wild Bird story on her podcast that had everyone cracking up and shaking their heads. While giving birth to her third kid, Dr. Louise back in 2024, she ended up switching her whole bird team last minute at Seaters, Sinai and LA, she wanted midwife care, but got stuck with the doctor she couldn't stand who barely paid attention. Picture this, Moore's in the middle of pushing, deep in labor, and the docs off in the corner scrolling CNN on his phone. Then, between her contractions, he starts chatting about a lobster truck parked outside the hospital, complaining he might miss it because things were. Taking too long, Moore even apologized, feeling like she was wasting his time. Her co-hosts from the This Is Us Days, Sterling K. Brown and Chris Sullivan, were straight up baffled. Sullivan jokes she should have launched a baby at him and Brown called out, men, what's up? Moore jumped right in, sarcastically telling the doctor to retire and grab his lobster roll instead. She's got two sons, Gus from 2021 and Ozzy from 2022, making Louise her third at age 42.

1:06What docs call a geriatric? Pregnancy. But Moore's owning it, saying she's done expanding the family and feeling grateful, yet a bit sad about no more pregnancies. These days, she's pushing back on how the system treats women, having kids later in life, calling it normal human stuff, not some high-risk anomaly. Stories like hers remind us, birth can be unpredictable, but Moore's turning it into real talk for moms everywhere. Local news, powered by AI. This is Durham News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
