Shay Mitchellis preparing her “birth plan.”
“I’ve been thinking a lot about this birth plan and I feel like we need to be more on the same page with this,” Mitchell, 32, told Babel. “You say no epidural, I say epidural.”
“Am I partial to no epidural? Yes,” replied Babel, 38. “Why? Because I’m a hypochondriac. I’m afraid of drugs. My mom didn’t use an epidural … I meet women all the time whodidn’t choose to use epidurals.”

Mitchell then compared getting an epidural to receiving anesthesia before a procedure like a root canal.
“Would you get a root canal without any drugs?” she questioned. “You’re in excruciating pain and I’m holding the medicine like this and I’m like, ‘You can have itand it wouldn’t do any harm, but you don’t want it. Do you want to be a fighter? Fight through it.’ ”
Babel disagreed with her comparison, saying, “A root canal is not comparable because you’re not born to go through a root canal. As a woman, your body is genetically engineered to give birth.”
“Well listen, next time, you can do this,” Mitchell jokingly responded.
After Babel said he would “love to,” Mitchell thenpulled out a 30-lb. faux pregnancy bellyfor Babel to wear as the pair ventured out on a hike together.
