Shawn Johnson Eastis getting candid about her daughter’s birth after it did not go to plan.
“At 14 hours when I chose to get an epidural I felt guilty,” she continued. “At 22 hours when we were told I had to get a c section I felt like I had failed. But after holding our sweet girl in my arms and being told everything went well and she had made it to us safely I could have cared less.”
“My/our world no longer has anything to do with us but everything to do with her,” added Shawn. “It’s all for her and I will forever do anything for this girl that I love more than I ever could imagine. A love no one can ever prepare you for.”
Shawn and Andrew’s journey to welcoming their daughter was also documented on their joint YouTube channel.

The video, which was also uploaded on Thursday, began shortly after a 40-week pregnant Shawn scheduled to get induced and continued until Oct. 29 at 7:00 p.m. just before the former gymnast had her C-section following 22 hours of labor.
Later in the video, after deciding to get an epidural, Shawn admitted that she felt “weak.” When Andrew, 28, asked why she was bummed to get an epidural, she told him, “I should be able to do it naturally!”
The professional football player then reassured his wife that she was doing great before sharing his excitement to start “a new phase of life.”
“I’m excited and freaked out all at the same time!” he said at the end of the video.
