Kaya naman sa kanyang Instagram post, ibinahagi na ni Kylie ang kanyang birth story at ang mga detalye sa kanyang four-day labor.
Ayon kay Kylie, plano sana niyang sa pamamagitan ng isang water birth niya isisilang ang anak ngunit hindi ito nangyari. Basahin ang kabuuan ng istorya ng panganganak ng aktres.
"Early labor started slow for me which is normal. Mine lasted two days, getting little sleep at night but I was excited that soon I would finally see my baby boy! So I was already running up and down stairs to get him in position. But somehow, my body really was taking its time and baby's head wouldn't come down in my contractions.
Active labor lasted one and a half days. I walked six hours or two hours in intervals, experimented with different positions to get baby down and widen my cervix but it had gotten to a point that I had only dilated one cm in one day.
By the fourth day, I was exhausted and feeling a little let down by my body. Contractions were unbearable, I would shake and sit in my own mess to get through my contractions, pushing nothing, because my poor baby was still pretty high up in my cervix. Still my contractions kept coming. The pain became too much, especially with no rest no sleep. I have never felt so out of control of my body so I had to make a decision. No matter how much I wanted a natural water birth, I had to think about the next best thing for [my baby and I]. So I agreed to a medicated vaginal birth," saad ni Kylie.
After everything I'm still happy with my birthing story. My baby is healthy. Although it was a medicated birth, I'm thankful I still experienced all the natural hormones I did through those four transformative days. I learned more about myself and still got to enjoy a few moments in the tub with my partner. I want to thank everybody who was there for me through those four days. It wouldn't have been bearable without you," pagtatapos niya.
