Alice and Fern welcome new baby with birthing Instagram post

Alice Bender, known for sharing her life with baby son Fern on TikTok and Instagram, has welcomed her second child into the world.

As with her first child, Alice had an unassisted home birth and delivered the baby herself in her bathtub with just her husband and son present.

She has shared several pictures from the birth on Instagram, showing her holding her new baby in the tub in which she delivered both her children.

Alice welcomes new baby on Instagram

Alice Bender, previously known by the TikTok handle @comingupfern, has given birth to her second child. She shared the news on Instagram and posted several pictures from the birth that took place in her home, unassisted.

The pictures were captioned: “Only a few hours old and you’ve already taught us so much.”

In the photographs, Alice can be seen in her bathtub naked (although she has censored all nudity). The rest of the slides show her cradling her newborn in the tub, breastfeeding the baby, and sweet shots of her new child.

Did Alice plan for a home birth?

Alice had planned to give birth wherever she was when the baby arrived, and did not want to go to hospital.

“I am a huge advocate for going all out to make sure you have whatever kind of birth you want to have,” she explained on TikTok, “If I had any birth preferences I would definitely make sure they happen, but I don’t. I would be happy giving birth anywhere, baby will come where it comes.”

When asked by a follower whether Alice would rather give birth at home or while travelling, she responded: “There’s an equal amount of pros and cons to both so I don’t have a preference.”

Alice gave birth to baby Fern at home, too

Alice’s first child, Fern, was also born unassisted and in her home. Alice has discussed her choice on social media, telling followers she “didn’t want anyone there,” which meant there was no midwife, no doula, and no photographer.

Almost two years after Fern arrived in the world, Alice shared pictures from his birth on Instagram, taken by her husband. She explained during the birth there was “nothing to focus on besides the most spiritual thing I’ve ever experienced.”

In April, Alice said the only people at the birth of her second child would be herself, her husband, and their son. She shared clips on her Instagram story of Fern in the bathtub with her during the labor.
