BossBabes star Edna Swart and her hubby Reid Stephen say their “hearts shattered with love” at the arrival of their son Astyn.
However, it wasn’t an easy delivery for the Shortland Street and Celebrity Treasure Island favourite, 34. She had to have an emergency C-section after 24 hours of labour. The procedure came after it was discovered her boy’s umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. She also developed an infection and needed antibiotics after Astyn pooed inside her.
After recovering from the ordeal, Edna posted her gratitude to Reid, 29, saying, “You are my rock, my life and you stepped up in ways I didn’t even know you could when I couldn’t. Thank you for making this perfect child with me. We are parents!”
