Tabitha Nauser and her partner Louie Salmon-Pansuk welcomed their first child four months ago.
According to the Swiss-Indian singer, she’s barely even noticed this four-month milestone passing by.
“Time seems to be slipping from my fingers and my baby is growing too fast,” she said.
During her pregnancy, Tabitha had made it clear that she was keen on a natural childbirth with no interventions.
This birth plan was fully supported by her doctor, and this alone provided her with “so much confidence”.
Two days before the expected due date, the 32-year-old was prepping for the baby and continuing with her birthing exercises.
She woke up the following day with contractions but only rated the pain as a 1.5 out of 10.
By the time she checked in at the hospital on the day of delivery, Tabitha was 3.5cm dilated and the pain level had ramped up considerably.
“For the rest of the day, I survived on gummy bears and sweets,” she said.
The fact that Tabitha’s baby was “facing upwards”
She’d done it—completely unmedicated, as planned.
Calling this the most “empowering and fulfilling” thing she’s ever done, Tabitha noted how this experience has given her a new lease of life.
“I know I can do anything I set my mind to now,” she affirmed.
In the comments section, netizens were in celebratory mood.
One Instagram user admitted that Tabitha’s Instagram video brought them to tears, before labelling her “an actual superwoman”.
