Emmy-nominated Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday in Los Angeles. It is the 42-year-old stars first child with her husband of almost two years, 38-year-old actor Peter Hermann. The baby was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and weighed in at 10 pound 9 ounces. The new arrival was born one week after his due date via caesarean-section. Hargitay's father, actor Mickey Hargitay, and brother were also present for the delivery. Her actress mother Jayne Mansfield died in a road accident in 1967.

Jesus! Does everyone in Hollywood get a C-section? They should rename that Hospital Ceasars-Sinai! How many Celebs have had a "natural" childbirth in the last 12 months, and I am not counting that wacky scientology sh*t as natural.
I do believe a 10 pounder is grounds for a C-section, but come-on a week late; induce her 2 - 3 weeks ago already.

Congratulations Mariska and family!
I had a 10 lb 4 oz baby naturally but do not believe in induction so I think she was wise. She would be considered high risk and I am sure had excellent medical advice.
