Bundchen further said, “I believe it’s a woman’s right to make the decision about how she’s going to give birth to her child. And it’s also her right to have access to the information she needs so she can make that decision from a place of awareness, and not a place of fear.”

With her actions, Bundchen promoted education and awareness about birthing alternatives. Further, she helped campaign for pregnant women given the opportunity to give birth how they choose.
