Kat Von D is going drug and vaccine free in her pregnancy and in raising her child.

The pregnant tattoo artist, 36, opened up to her fans via Instagram, explaining how she and her husband plan to parent their child.

The makeup and style guru even touched on how she wants to bring her child into the world. Von D told followers that she plans on ditching her doctor, opting instead to labor at home with a midwife. She also plans on welcoming her child into the world utilizing a water birth. According to the International Continence Society, water births can help with pain relief for the mother, decrease vaginal tearing, and be far less traumatic.

Von D and her husband, musician Rafael Reyes, have other plans as well. They plan on raising their little one as a vegan, a practice that the couple themselves already employ. Kat admitted that it will likely be tough, and that they will face a lot of criticism over their choices, but that is not playing into their parenting decisions.

The last bit of info that Von D dropped in her post was that she does not plan on vaccinating her child. This will likely open a can of worms for the artist, as American parents are widely divided when it comes to vaccinations. Both sides of the argument are intensely devoted to their stance, and debates become heated very fast, especially in online forums.

The CDC estimates that over 72% percent of children in the United States are vaccinated for 7 combined vaccines, over all. These include DTap, Polio, MMR, Hib, Hep B, Chicken Pox, and PCV. Those who do not vaccinate face harsh criticism that they are putting not only their own children at risk, but other kids around them as well.

Opponents of vaccinating children cite the argument that vaccines can have serious (and sometimes fatal) side effects such as allergic reactions. They also argue that vaccines can contain harmful ingredients such as mercury, and that they may be linked to certain developmental disorders.

The decision on whether or not to vaccinate, what diet to feed your child, and where and how you give birth, are all deeply personal to parents across the globe. The most important thing is to do the research-- be informed about the decisions you are making for your family.
