<p>Maja Salvador opened up about her experience giving birth to her first offspring.</p><p>In an Instagram post, the actress shared that her labor was long and challenging.</p><p>&quot;Exactly a week ago… I experienced an intense 30-hour labor, 12 hours without epidural, 3 hours of pushing. Then ended up having episiotomy and forceps. 2 contractions and 7 pushes later, we finally welcomed our baby Maria,&quot; she said.</p><p>After delivering her baby, Maja relayed that she had uterine inversion.</p><p>According to Cleveland Clinic, uterine inversion is &quot;a rare but serious complication during childbirth where your uterus turns partially or entirely inside out.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C78MWWeNkKu/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A697305.5%2C%22ls%22%3A337478.2000000477%2C%22le%22%3A337830.90000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1651" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Maja recalled: &quot;Immediately had 10 minutes of skin-to-skin contact with her, but biglang nagka emergency... I had uterine inversion. Kaya kinailangan nilang kunin sa&#x27;kin si Maria at binigay nila kay Rambo (Nuñez, her husband) who was seated helplessly next to my bed.&quot;</p><p>She went on: &quot;3 OB GYN were there trying to put back my uterus manually which led to blood loss of 3 to 4 liters, then my blood pressure went down to 60/40, sinabihan na lang ako ng Doula ko na anytime I would have to go to the operating room for surgery.&quot;</p><p>Maja recounted that she was already physically weak at the time and that she prayed the rosary amid the ordeal.</p><p>&quot;That time sabi ko nalang sa sarili ko na I can’t do anything anymore... ubos na ubos na lakas ko... I started praying Hail Mary... paulit ulit kahit wala na akong lakas. And miraculously, after their last attempt, one of the OB GYN succeeded in repositioning my uterus. AMEN!&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C70i53buU6f/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A698110.5%2C%22ls%22%3A337478.2000000477%2C%22le%22%3A337830.90000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="949" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Maja extended her gratitude to the health care workers who took care of her while giving birth.</p><p>&quot;Despite the challenging journey, gusto kong i-express ang gratitude ko to all the medical personnel na nandun nun, especially to the Filipino nurses who provided unwavering care and support,&quot; she said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/6/1/maja-salvador-gives-birth-to-first-child-1149"><strong>READ:Maja Salvador gives birth to first child</strong></a></div><p>The actress also extended her gratitude to her family.</p><p>&quot;Recovering now...
