Ladies, if you’ve ever been pregnant before you know very well that pregnancies don’t always go as you may have imagined. First time mothers especially have this pre-conceived notion that everything will go perfectly as planned…but then this thing called REALITY strikes in…and Amber Rose got a little taste of that when she gave birth to her first child, Sebastian “Bash” Taylor.
Before the birth of Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose child, she planned on having a NATURAL Child birth right in the comfort of her own home BUT Once she found out that she had a breech baby (baby upside down…feet positioned at the birth canal) things drastically changed!
Amber Rose visited the Ricki Lake Show to tell all about her Pregnancy journey and only one month after giving birth!
Check out the video interview below and read a few highlights …….
Amber revealed:
At 37 weeks, one of the mid wives said that the big lump on top by my ribs was the baby’s head. My midwife was like go to the doctor, get an ultrasound and confirm that he is breeched. Once I confirmed it with the doctor, I decided to have a c-section. At that point, I just wanted my baby.
Wiz added:
When I found out that he was breeched, it made me feel nervous at first because you don’t want to hear anything bad about a pregnancy. You want it to go how you plan it. Of course it wasn’t with the plan of how we wanted it to happen but as mentally prepared as we were for the water birth we had to get as prepared for the c-section.
Amber also revealed that they tried every method possible to turn the baby around before going through with the c-section:
They tried to turn my baby around by doing really hard pelvic massages, I tried mug wart, acupuncture, and my last result was inversion, which is when you go to the hospital and they manually try to turn your baby. They push his head down and push his butt up. It hurt a lot. It was very painful and at that point after I tried everything, I was like I just want my baby. If I have to have a C-Section, fine. I told Wiz, if we go to the hospital and my baby turns around, I’m going back home.
When I went in I was terrified, like shaking I was so scared. Then, when Wiz came in he just talked to me the whole time and then all of a sudden we heard Sebastien cry and then we both started crying like, ‘Oh my God!! Our baby is here.’
She also added that although she had to go through a c-section this time around, Ricki Lake’s documentary The Business of Being Born has motivated her to attempt a natural birth if she has another child.
I feel like I made the right decision, but I knew right after having the c-section that our next baby, I definitely want to have my next baby at home.
Watching the documentary and seeing how the women pull the baby out and put the baby on their chest that’s what I really, really wanted for me and Sebastien. That’s the part that I missed out on.
