<p>Coleen Garcia announced that she recently welcomed her second child with husband, Billy Crawford.</p><p>&quot;On August 17, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Austin, into the world. And it was the experience of a lifetime. 😆 The plan was another water birth—this time in @stlukesmedicalcenter,&quot; she posted on her Instagram page.</p><p>The actress opened up about her birthing experience, sharing: &quot;We decided to go to the hospital when I was already in active labor, but after getting checked, we thought it was gonna take a lot longer since my water hadn’t broken yet, I was only 3cm dilated, and contractions weren’t painful or uncomfortable despite being so close together for hours. I was still walking around, killing time, feeling totally normal.&quot;</p><p>Coleen was then brought to the delivery room but what happened next took her by surprise.</p><p>&quot;After some time, they did start to get painful. I was then brought to the delivery room right away. When we got to the room, I stood up from the wheelchair, took a couple of steps toward the bed, then suddenly felt a tiny urge to push while I was still standing. I did once, just a little, for relief—until I felt his head coming out. I had to stop mid-push and say the baby was coming! My mom quickly got down to check, and true enough, part of his head was already out! On the next push, he slipped out so quickly that she was the one who caught him!&quot; she revealed.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DODatAIkvfr/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A7004561.6%2C%22ls%22%3A203040.90000000037%2C%22le%22%3A203046.29999999888%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1398" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Coleen recounted that it only took two pushes to deliver baby Austin. </p><p>&quot;In just two quick, silent, and surprisingly painless pushes, he was born EN CAUL(!) straight into her arms. It all happened so fast—I was supposed to get an IE, dim the lights, play some music, soak in the tub.. Instead, I gave birth like two minutes after entering the delivery room. 😝 I was still standing there in the same spot, looking down at everything—everyone in the room completely shookt—and all I could say was: &#x27;Well.. that happened.&#x27; 😅 I was laughing about it, while my mom was stunned and holding the baby in disbelief,&quot; she shared.</p><p>The actress relayed that this birthing experience was completely different from what she had with her first one. </p><p>&quot;My first birth caught me off guard and left me with some trauma because I didn’t know what to expect. This birth was the opposite. I was prepared with things I packed but never used, techniques I didn&#x27;t really have the time to apply, and plans that didn&#x27;t unfold the way I imagined. Both births were special and beautiful in their own ways, and God carried me through each of those journeys just as He always does,&quot; she remarked.</p><p>She added: &quot;I felt His presence all throughout, and it shielded me from fear and anxiety, reminding me once again that His plan is always greater than mine. 💞&quot;</p>

<p>Coleen Garcia shared that it only took two pushes for her to deliver her second baby, in a manner that was unexpected and quite surprising to everyone -- including herself. </p>
