If there's one thing money can't buy, it's escape from pain. And when it comes to pain, there's really nothing comparable to childbirth.

So how do the ultra-wealthy and famous contend with this most humanizing of experiences? Reportedly for Beyonce and Jay-Z, it involved anything from a pre-made custom "birthing" weave to a $1.3 million rental of Lenox Hill Hospital's entire fourth floor.

But not every celeb goes the extra distance -- a surprising number give birth at home, though that's likely as much to avoid the paparazzi as it is to embrace the natural side of motherhood. Read on to discover how a whole slew of stars got through their childbirth experiences.

Though the rumours are still swirling regarding Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby Blue Ivy, so far we've heard that (a) they paid $1.3 million to rent out the entire maternity ward of New York's Lenox Hill Hospital, (b) a father was kept from seeing his premature twins thanks to Bey's security, and (c) they had a room custom-made in the ward, complete with bulletproof glass. Not a rumour, though? That Jay-Z has already released a song featuring B.I.C. - that is, Blue Ivy Carter. (Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images)
