Nicole Richie watched as she gave birth with a mirror, interesting not something I have done with my two children, but I did not have any drugs, full pain for me.

A source told America's Star magazine: "A nurse handed Nicole a mirror so she could see the birth. At first she was too afraid, but she watched during the final few pushes."

However, there were worrying moments for Nicole and fiancé Joel Madden when Harlow turned a scary shade of blue.

But the doctor soon reassured the new parents that everything was OK and placed Harlow on Nicole's chest while Joel nervously cut the cord.
