Shay Mitchell and Matte Babel

Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Matte Babel.

As it is nearing her due date, Shay is beginning to work out her ‘birth plan.’

During the third episode of her Youtube Series, she spoke to Matte about having an epidural. Shay wants an epidural but Matte says no.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about this birth plan and I feel like we need to be on the same page with this. You say no epidural, I say epidural,” said Shay.

Babel replied saying, “Am I partial to no epidural? Yes. Why? Because I’m a hypochondriac. I’m afraid of drugs. My mom didn’t use an epidural … I meet women all the time who didn’t choose to use epidurals.”

“Would you get a root canal without any drugs?….You’re in excruciating pain and I’m holding the medicine like this and I’m like, ‘You can have it and it wouldn’t do any harm, but you don’t want it. Do you want to be a fighter? Fight through it,’” she said.

“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,” he said.

Shay has been regularly exercising and trying to stay has healthy as possible, due to her unfortunately suffering a miscarriage last year.

The couple have announced their baby girl is due early October but Shay states Matte believes she will arrive late September.

“Matte is so set on her coming out and being a Libra.”

“Yeah, I want her to be a Libra, cause then, while I’m outnumbered by gender, we’re similar in terms of personalities,” Matte replies.
