Renata and Valentin Lusin Welcome Daughter Tessa, Share Water-Birth Story

Her candid account presents a calm, unmedicated water birth that contrasts with her first, far tougher delivery.

Overview

  • Tessa, born Thursday at 16:15, arrived via a water birth at Klinikum Leverkusen, the Let's Dance pros announced on Instagram.
  • In a post Sunday, Renata detailed the timeline from light contractions around 7 a.m. to arriving at the birth suite at 13:00 and meeting Tessa at 16:15.
  • She said the delivery happened without medication and with minimal intervention from the midwife, describing it as “like a spa.”
  • Renata contrasted this experience with Stella’s March 2024 birth, which involved 32 hours of labor, a three-hour pushing phase, a forceps delivery, and an epidural late in labor.
  • The couple thanked the Leverkusen hospital team and said they plan a short break to enjoy family life, while a playful Instagram clip about “one more” fueled fan chatter without a firm statement on future plans.
