Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Luke Cook details dramatic home birth

Aussie actor Luke Cook has opened up about the ‘wild’ birth of his second child.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star, 36, and his stylist wife Kara Wilson welcomed their son Ozzie last month.

Following the birth of their first son Chaplin, who as born by caesarean, the couple decided to have a natural water birth at home for their second baby.

‘This was a home birth, in a blow up pool the midwife put in our bedroom,’ Cook told the Daily Telegraph.

‘It’s a surreal experience. Kara was in more pain than she’s ever been in her whole life, for 12 hours.’

Luke added that the challenging birth saw Kara wanting to ‘give up multiple times’, but she powered through what was an incredibly ‘rewarding experience’.

‘I was in the pool as well, pressing her hips together with every contraction. It’s raw, intimate and wild,’ he continued.

The couple faced a scare after their newborn wasn’t breathing – Ozzie had been in the birth canal for too long, which can often be harmful for newborns.

‘When he came out his heart was beating but he hadn’t taken a breath yet,’ Luke recalled, which he says happens to about 10 per cent of babies.

Luke and Kara’s midwife gave Ozzie mouth to mouth, while the LA-based actor started to have doubts. 

‘I thought that he may not make it – I was freaking out,’ he said.

Luke, who was the only male present during the home birth, said the whole room remained calm.

The pair welcomed Ozzie Alexander Cook in November, announcing the exciting news via Instagram.

‘Ozzie Alexander Cook. Born at home, early this morning, after a long, deeply groaned labor by my strong, resilient wife,’ Luke wrote underneath a gallery of photos.

Ozzie was born two years after the couple welcomed their first child, son Chaplin Benjamin Cook.

Luke gushed about his firstborn child in an interview with Daily Mail Australia back in February.

‘He has been such a bloody joy and I can’t wait to see what he looks like when he’s older and what he’s going to speak like,’ he gushed.
