Giving birth is like, the oldest thing in history. Since human beings have been a thing, woman have been giving birth to them. I know, right? Motherhood; a concept .
Now obviously, since billions of women have given birth, no two birth stories are going to be the same.
Slick Woods may have one of the more ~spicy~ birth stories out there, but are we surprised? It’s SLICK MF’ING WOODS.
And if you didn’t know her by name, you sure as hell know her as the lead Fenty Beauty brand model.
Fenty Beauty is, of course, Rihanna’s makeup line.
The groundbreaking, earth shattering, HELLA INCLUSIVE cosmetics line that put Tarte Shape Tape Foundation certain makeup brands to utter and complete shame.

Now Rih Rih and Slick have become BFF’s since working together, sharing their adorable friendship on social media.
Name a more badass friendship, lol.
SO badass, in fact, that Slick just shared a really intense story about her birthing process.
Woods was so determined to walk in Rihanna’s “Savage x Fenty” lingerie show, that she walked the runway while she was literally in labour and two centimeters dilated!!!
“If I could bring another human being into this world, nothing was out of reach.”
In her essay for Vogue UK, Woods remembers running out of the Savage show to go give physical birth to her son.
“My last memory before going into the hospital is of Rihanna spanking me with a whip,” she wrote.
WHHHaaaaaAAAATTTtttttttttt???!!!!
“I was already 2cm dilated when I left the show, and I was in labour for another 18 hours. The delivery room was out of control,” she recalled.
I mean, when you start off your birth-story with a spank from Rih Rih, everything else must measure up in drama!
Now that Slick is a mom, she says her whole life has changed in the best way possible, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for her!
“Every day since, my son has healed me, invigorated me – and helped me come to terms with my past. I never had a normal family. Now I’ve created my own. Who knew you could miss someone your whole damn life without ever having met them?”
