Joyce Pring details birth experience to Baby Liam, shares experience of being in labor for 16 to 17 hours

In her latest vlog post, Joyce Pring detailed her birth experience to her first child Baby Liam.

She also shared her experience of being in labor for 16 to 17 hours.

In the video she posted on March 4, Joyce said giving birth was "one of the most spiritual experiences I've ever had."

Joyce said she was already on her 40th week of pregnancy when she gave birth to Baby Liam.


Joyce said when she went for her usual check up on her 40th week, her ob gyn noticed that she had low amniotic fluid and was advised to get induced to give birth. 

The Kapuso host said she was stuck at 2cm from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. while she was feeling intense pain. During that time, she thought she was going to give birth through c-section.

She said her ob gyn already talked to her about the possibility of having to go through c-section.

Joyce said at that moment all she wanted was for her baby to be healthy and safe.

At around 12 midnight, Joyce said she was already at 5 cm and had gotten her epidural which made her feel better.

Just when she started to accept the fact that she might give birth through c-section, Joyce said she miraculously became 8 to 9 cm dilated from 5 cm in a span of two hours.

Joyce said she was pushing for 20 to 25 minutes and finally gave birth to an 8-pound baby boy.

In the video, Joyce's husband Juancho Triviño also told his side of the story during Joyce's labor in the vlog. 

According to Joyce, Baby Liam is now seven months old and already weighs 10 kilograms. —JAB, GMA News.
