Last week, Cartwright revealed that she was in labor for more than a full day, but in the end, got to witness the ‘amazing’ birth in a mirror alongside her husband and mother, who were both in the delivery room. 

In an interview with E News, she confessed she went into labor for up to 27-hours.

‘It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it was definitely the most beautiful and rewarding thing,’ she said before focusing in on the effect their new bundle of joy has already had on her.

‘It was all so amazing and now having him in my arms I couldn’t imagine life without him!’

The Kentucky native went on to share how she and her husband both cried through the enduring experience, and how Jax was ‘supportive and encouraging’ the entire time.
