Actress Tiffani Thiessen welcomed her first child, daughter Harper, five weeks ago and now opens about her labor and how motherhood is going so far.

Tiffani had talked about trying her hardest for a hypnobirth, but also said she was staying open about her delivery, which didn’t go exactly as she planned. Thiessen ended up needing a C-section after 30 hours of labor.

“First my water didn’t break; they had to do it for me,” Tiffani says. “Then the baby wasn’t descending, because the cord was wrapped around her neck. Once she was finally out, I didn’t even get to hold her before they whisked her away. You’re staring across the room, like, ‘Hello? Over here!’ The whole thing was very surreal.”

The new mom went on to say that she is still in awe of her little girl. Thiessen says, “She sleeps anywhere from three to four hours at a time at night, which is not bad. It’s a lot of work. This is a kind of love that you never really knew about. You haven’t known this person for very long, but you love them so much.”

Harper is the first child for Tiffani and her husband Brady Smith.
