Zoë Saldana is a phenomenal actress, starring in serious dramas and action flicks alike. She’s also the mother of two beautiful twins, Cy and Bowie. But her birthing experience was less of a magical experience, and more harrowing nightmare.

Zoë explained her experience with Carolyn Robertson of babycenter Blog, sharing that, “The boys came at 32 weeks. They found protein in my urine; my platelets crashed. I didn’t qualify for an epidural, so I delivered under general anesthetic.

I didn’t even meet them until a day later.

Looking back, I think the boys were three or four months old, and one morning I woke up with just this flood of emotions. Marco had them, too, and we were able to have our deconstruction session in the bathroom while they were napping, to say to each other, ‘Holy shit, did we come close to it all changing forever?’

We allowed ourselves to have a moment of ‘poor us.’ And that was it. Then somebody cried, and it was ‘Got to go!’”
