LITTLE People, Big World alum Audrey Roloff continues to share special moments from her recent birth of baby Radley, most recently releasing a video of the moment she welcomed her son to the world.
In the dark video posted to Instagram stories, Audrey can be heard crying out in pain, repeatedly chanting: “Oh baby, oh baby” as the delivery reaches its climax.
Suddenly, husband Jeremy Roloff can be heard discovering the baby’s gender: It’s a boy!”
Audrey responds with a heartfelt: “I love you, baby.”
The 30-year-old welcomed her third child with husband Jeremy Roloff, 31, last week, and has been very upfront with her emotional battle before and after her pregnancy.
Just days after her birth, Audrey admitted she is “hurting” and “crying tears of pain.”
Audrey left no detail of her experience out for her fans and continued: “My birth experience was so beautiful and peaceful and empowering. Those first few days postpartum I was so encouraged.”
However, Audrey expressed that on her third day postpartum, her pain took a turn for the worst.
The mother-of-now-three posted a photograph of her nose red and blotchy, as she looked completely exhausted lying in bed.
She continued her long post reminding fans that there’s more to giving birth than the cute baby photos: “This is what you hardly ever see on the other side of the screen.
“An overflowing postpartum nightstand with a very tired, hurting, recovering mama. Tears of joy as she swoons over her newborn baby and tears of pain as she aches in too many places to count.”
Audrey commented that she believes people don’t talk about it openly enough.
She wanted to remind other mothers that if “your body feels wrecked” that they are not alone.
BATHTUB BABY
The shared video brings to life a previous post of hers, in which the reality star posted intimate photos of herself giving birth in a bath tub.
In one photo, the author appeared to be cradling her son while sitting in the tub.
Audrey captioned the post: “Can’t wait to share his birth story with you guys.”
In another picture, Audrey sat in the tub with Radley as Jeremy held onto her hand. The duo smiled for the camera.
She captioned the post: “Photo was taken right away Jer shouts ‘it’s a BOY!”
Audrey and Jeremy already share kids Ember, three, and Bode, one.
BIRTH DAY
Baby Radley entered the world on November 8, as the proud mom shared a series of family photos, captioning the post: “It’s a BOY!!! Welcome to the world Radley Knight Roloff.
“Born 11.8.21 at 6:32 am 9.1 lbs 21.5 in and born en caul which was wild! I can’t wait to share his brith story with you soon.
“We are grateful to God for answering so many specific prayers in regards to this labor and delivery.
“A word that I had been praying over this birth was ‘harmony.’ And it truly was one of the most harmonious experiences.”
