Anna Hofbauer: The birth was really so dramatic

A few weeks ago the time had come: Anna Hofbauer has become a mother! The ex-Bachelorette and her boyfriend Marc Barthel are happy parents of little Leo today. But the fresh family life wasn't as idyllic from the start as it currently looks on Instagram. Now Anna Hofbauer has spoken for the first time about Leo's difficult start in life, which many fans had feared.

Anna Hofbauer looks back on the difficult birth

The birth was "relatively short for a first child at 6 hours", but "violent". Anna Hofbauer revealed this personally in her Instagram story, in which she started a question and answer session for her fans. Among other things, they wanted to know whether the birth was exhausting. The freshly baked mother now reveals dramatic details: "I had lost a lot of blood and the placenta did not want to come off at first."

Already the admission to the hospital started bumpy – because Anna Hofbauer's amniotic sac had burst far too early. Then everything was tried to give the unborn baby some time and Anna was treated with antibiotics.

The concern for her child was great, in retrospect she described the weeks in an Instagram post as the "most difficult and exhausting days" of her life.

The birth itself does not seem to have been easy either. But today Anna Hofbauer knows exactly how and why she mastered the pain bravely: "Since I knew Leo wasn't doing well, I had pushed everything aside and knew, Anna, you have to work now!". And she has! A birth always brings out unexpected powers in a mother. Today the small family is said to have recovered from the exertions. We wish you all the best for the exciting time!
