“Never letting go,” Mitchell captioned a photo of herself holding her child’s hand.
Less than 24 hours after announcing her daughter’s arrival, the actress gave her fans a behind-the-scenes look at what went down in the delivery room in the final episode of herYouTube seriesdocumenting her pregnancy.
“Oh my god, my water’s breaking,” Mitchell says in the first seconds of the video, quipping, “Thank God I’mwearing one of these diapers.”
While the actress had initially planned on not having to go to the hospital right away, the intense pain she began feeling changed her mind.

After being in labor for 13 hours, Mitchell decided to take pitocin, a drug which can help strengthen contractions.
“Pitocin is used to make a labor move faster,” Mitchell’s doula explained, noting that there were some downsides with the drug as well. “The physical experience with the labor is completely different because the pitocin labor is pretty rough.”
Four hours later, Mitchell’s contractions began getting more intense, but she still wasn’t ready to deliver her child.
“She’s having a really hard time, she’s struggling,” her doula remarked, adding that the actress was consideringgetting an epidural— which she and her boyfriend haddisagreed onearlier in her pregnancy.
Although getting the epidural did help Mitchell’s comfort level, it didn’t mean she was ready to give birth.
“Shay’s water has been broken for 30 hours how, which increases the risk of infection,” her doula explained. “We are really trying toavoid a cesareanand doing everything that we can to help the labor progress.”

Although the actress didn’t share any footage from the actual delivery, the video ends with several clips of herself and Babel with their child in the hospital.
“This is definitely the most intense experience of my life. Matte and I are parents, and I can’t believe it and we thought pregnancy was a journey. I’m realizing we have just begun.”
Ending on a light note, the actress joked, “I was 99 percent excited to meet her, and 1 percent excited to eat something.”
