Angelina Jolie talked about how she gave birth in Namibia

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, along with her husband actor Brad Pitt, many years ago decided that their child they will not give birth in America. And the reason for this was the ubiquitous paparazzi, which the stellar couple did not give passage.

Only money helped Shiloh to be born

In her interviews, Angelina often talks about children. This time, she pleased her fans with the details of how and where she saw the light of Shiloh - their first-born:

"Me and Brad decided that the birth will take place in Namibia. Two months before this event, we flew to this country. They found a paid clinic, where they had to give birth. At the appointed time I was brought to the hospital, but when I was examined by a doctor, he said that it was necessary to conduct an ultrasound study, and then, most likely, an operation. Unfortunately, there was no ultrasound machine in the hospital and only thanks to the fact that we had money, I was given this procedure. In general, I had a cesarean section, and the birth ended safely. It turns out that only money helped my baby to come into the world. It's painful to realize that there are countries that still do not have the most basic things. But in fact, the hospital was full of mothers, who, perhaps, also needed to undergo this examination. After all, it is very important to know how the baby is developing, and before delivery, its location, etc. Lack of money is a big problem, not only in Namibia, but in many other countries. It is very important that the world community does it and tries, if possible, to solve it. "
