<p>Fashion model Slick Woods is known as being <a href="/profile/Rihanna" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Rihanna</a>&#8217;s muse as she is featured at the forefront of many of the singer&#8217;s campaigns, especially for her fashion and beauty brand Fenty. It was in September 2018 when Woods was at the end of her pregnancy when she was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/rihanna-was-ready-for-slick-woods-to-go-into-labor-at-nyfw-show-news.60322.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">modeling in one of Rihanna&#8217;s show</a>s wearing what she describes as &#8220;pasties, thigh-highs, stilettos, and not much else,&#8221; when the 22-year-old went into labor.</p>
<p>In a feature for <em>Vogue</em>, Woods writes an article about <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/slick-woods-on-motherhood" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">her surprise pregnancy</a>, fashion show labor, and shares the love she has for her son. &#8220;I was nearly in my last trimester when I found out I was going to have a baby,&#8221; Woods writes. &#8220;I’d always been told I would never be able to have a child naturally, and it was only when my agent told me I was looking kind of chubby in my bikini at Coachella that I visited my doctor.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;A few appointments later, a nurse was doing a sonogram,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;There he was: my son. I started crying tears of joy. I had life in me, and felt like I understood the true power of my body for the first time. If I could bring another human being into this world, nothing was out of reach.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woods also said that there was one memory she will never let go of, and it&#8217;s the last thing she could recount before being rushed to the hospital to deliver her baby boy. &#8220;My last memory before going into the hospital is of Rihanna spanking me with a whip. I was already 2cm dilated when I left the show, and I was in labor for another 18 hours.&#8221;</p>

<p>Woods also writes that she had <a href="/profile/erykah-badu" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Erykah Badu</a> on FaceTime, no doubt as a friendly face and also as a doula, while the father of her child and her agent were in the delivery room. &#8220;Every day since, my son has healed me, invigorated me &#8211; and helped me come to terms with my past,&#8221; Woods says. &#8220;I never had a normal family. Now I’ve created my own. Who knew you could miss someone your whole damn life without ever having met them?&#8221;</p><br>
