Demi Moore’s Daughter Breaks Her Own Water During Home Birth and Shares This Journey in Emotional Photos

Rumer Willis, the oldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, had her first baby in April. During the labor at home, Rumer had a supportive team with her, including her two sisters, partner, mom, doula, and midwife. However, she did it all by herself when it was time to break her water.

Home births are considered safe for women with low-risk pregnancies.

Rumer Willis strongly desired to have an unmedicated, at-home birth, just like her mother, Demi Moore. In her memoir, Demi Moore shared that she chose to give birth naturally to all three of her daughters because she wanted to experience every sensation and be fully present and conscious during the delivery, even if it meant enduring some pain. Rumer followed her mother’s footsteps, aiming for a similar birthing experience.

“I wanted to feel every sensation, to be completely present and conscious for every moment of the delivery, no matter how painful.”

The Willis-Moore blended family was well-equipped to take on this task.

During Rumer’s childbirth, her mother and sisters were by her side, providing love and support. They recently shared some intimate photos from this magical moment, celebrating the incredible women and mothers in their families. Seeing these pictures made us even more appreciate the strong and resilient women in our lives.

At the age of 60, Demi Moore shared a heartwarming photo of herself holding her granddaughter, Louetta. In the caption, she reflected on the “circle of life,” comparing her experience of giving birth to her own child many years ago to the joy of now embracing Rumer’s firstborn. Bruce Willis’s wife, Emma Heming, responded with a touching comment, expressing how beautiful the moment was.

Scout LaRue Willis sent a heartfelt Mother’s Day wish to her sister Rumer, expressing overflowing love and appreciation. She shared how witnessing Rumer giving birth and becoming a mother was an incredibly profound experience for her. Scout thanked her sister for bringing baby Louetta, their newest little best friend, into their lives. She also admired their mother, Demi, for guiding and supporting Rumer during the early days of motherhood, describing it as one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen.

Rumer Willis feels immense joy in becoming a mother, and having her family’s unwavering support is the best gift she could ever wish for.

Rumer Willis wrote a letter to her "precious daughter, Louetta, expressing her excitement for her daughter’s arrival and the joy she has brought into her life. “I hope you never stop wanting to sleep next to me or take baths with me,” she explained, adding, “You are the most beautiful creature I have ever met. I still wake up every morning and can’t believe you are mine.”

Despite the challenges of childbirth, Rumer revealed that every moment, contraction, and pain was entirely meaningful. She expressed that she would gladly go through it all again, a thousand times over, just to have the opportunity to spend even a single second with her beloved Louetta.

During her appearance on the “Informed Pregnancy” podcast, Rumer shared her childbirth experience. After a night of contractions, she felt a strong urge to push, but there was one issue — her water hadn’t broken yet. Her midwife came up with a solution: Rumer could break it herself.

“She was checking me and felt my water bag bulging, but still not popping, which was wild,” Rumer recalled. “So, I was like, ‘Well, should we break it?’ She goes, ‘Well, you can.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ I was like, ‘Are you serious?’”

Rumer Willis’ home delivery has brought immense happiness to the Moore-Willis family, and we’re delighted to have shared their emotional journey with you. Before we say goodbye, get ready to be amazed by these 12 female stars who defied the odds and had children after 40.
