<p>The proud mum-of-three - who has daughters Rumer, 31, Scout, 28, and Tallulah, 25, with ex-husband Bruce Willis - was determined "to have natural childbirth" to make sure she experienced everything, and in turn not drinking means she won't miss out on anything in her everyday life.</p>

<p>"I guess I would think of it like this: It was really important to me to have natural childbirth because I didn't want to miss a moment. And with that I experienced pain.
