Maren Morris and her husband, Ryan Hurd, are the proud parents of four-month-old son, Hayes, who was born on March 23 in a Nashville hospital. The singer is now opening up about the details of her delivery, revealing that she labored for more than a day before finally having a C-section.

“I labored for 30 hours. I wanted to do it naturally, but I stopped having contractions, and it was just time to call it, and get him out safely,” Maren shared in a video posted by Little Spoon’s Is This Normal series. “I’m glad that we did it, but definitely not planning for a C-section, I didn’t read up on any of that ahead of time, because I didn’t expect to get one. So I just wish I had done a better job at preparing myself for the shock of a C-section, because the postpartum of a C-section is so brutal.”

In the days following Hayes’ arrival, Maren admits daily life was a struggle, at least at first.

“You can’t use any of your abdominal muscles,” Maren recalled. “I had to army crawl to get out of bed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. My husband would have to lift me out of bed. And you’re also wanting to hold your baby and breastfeed and pump and all this other s—, so that was crazy,”

Now that Maren is on the mend, she is sharing about her experience, with the hope of making other women realize they aren’t alone.

“I wish people talked more about their C-section stories because I felt, like a lot of mothers, just really isolated, really lonely, right after because it was this unexpected major surgery I ended up getting,” Maren said. “So that was probably the craziest thing. But now that I’m four months postpartum, I feel a lot better. I’ve been cleared by my doctor to work out again.

“It’s nice to engage yourself and feel like you’re getting back into your body a little bit because it’s been borrowed for a year,” she concluded. “You will come back; you will snap back. It takes time. It takes nine months to grow a baby. You need at least that to get back to yourself, so don’t rush it.”

Maren might have had to postpone her RSVP the Tour, but she is still being extremely generous. The Texas native just donated $70,000 to the band program at East Nashville Magnet High School.
