Things women cop on the chin even though they seriously suck: PMS, cramps and childbirth – and boy, can Laura Byrne attest to the latter.
Back in June, the 33-year-old welcomed a daughter to the world with fiancé and fellow Bachelor star Matty J. And when asked to divulge details about her labour, Laura didn’t hold back (god, love her).
“Tips on natural birth or did you go pain free?” one fan asked via Insta stories, to which the new-mum replied: “I momentarily thought I would have a drug-free birth… and then I went into labour. I was like, ‘Give me the drugs. All of them. Give me the menu of drugs. Thank you.’”
As for the best and worst thing about the entire experience?
“The best thing would be having a baby, and the worse thing would be everything else.” Ooft.
This isn’t the first time the couple have opened up about Marlie-Mae’s difficult delivery. Speaking on his radio show last month, Matty J admitted he felt powerless watching Laura battle through it.
“It’s awful watching your partner going through so much pain and you can’t do anything except hold their hand and kiss their forehead and tell them it’s going to be ok,” he said.
“As Laura was about to give birth they then realised the baby was…it was facing the wrong way, and the heart rate was beginning to drop a little as well. All of sudden there were six doctors in the room, you don’t really know what is going on because it’s your first time, next thing they are saying ‘we need to get this baby out now, come on Laura big pushes.'”
“The only thing you want as a parent is to have a healthy child,” he added. “It was really quite scary in the final moments when Laura was giving those final pushes, thankfully we didn’t have any major complications.”
Thanks Laura and Matty for never failing to keep it real!
