She and Seyer announcedtheir pregnancya month earlierwith an artistic snapshot showcasing Kat's growing baby bump.

In the months that followed, Kat didn't shy away from documenting her road to baby with fans. Katrevealed onInstagramthat she planned on "having a natural, drug-free home birth in water with a midwife and doula," thus stirring controversy when she also shared her "intention of raising a vegan child, without vaccinations."

Following the swift backlash, she clarified her and husband's stance on the hot button topic, saying they don't necessarilyalign with the anti-vaccination moment.

Instead, Von D shared on social media at the time,"What we have found is that sometimes it isn't always so black and white.While we believe medications, including vaccines, are not all bad—we also can't dismiss the fact that some may not be good for everyone."

As her due date approached, Kat said she was feeling "super awesome" and described her pregnancy as the "easiest, most comfortable" experience.

In yet another emotional Instagram post, the celebrity gave a heartfelt shout out to fellow moms who have walked the path before her.

"As a loner-by-default it's been such a beautiful/different feeling to connect with women from all walks of life in this way," Kat penned. "Yes, this pregnancy has brought my husband and I closer than we could have ever imagined [and we haven't even had our baby yet!] but it's also connected me deeply with all my fellow sisters in motherhood out there. Naturally, I've become more empathetic and understanding of other mothers regardless of how different our approach to birthing might be and I just feel so lucky to be able to experience all of this alongside you guys."
