Matthew McConaughey's partner passed out during labour

Camila Alves took 60 hours to deliver their baby

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves love being parents

Camila Alves admits giving birth to her son Levi was a painful process.

The model had her first child with actor Matthew McConaughey on 7 July.

But she decided to have a natural birth – with no painkillers.

‘It wasn't such a pleasant experience,’ she reveals. ‘We went through 14 hours with contractions every two minutes, no epidural, no nothing.

'Every two minutes I would pass out. I went to the hospital on Saturday, and Levi was born on Monday.’

But Camila, 25, says she was lucky to have Matthew, 38, by her side.

‘He's a man - he's my man - and we're a family,’ she tells babycentre.com.

‘He's the best dad he can be, 100 per cent hands-on.’
