Hailey Bieber/ Instagram At 39 weeks, the Rhodes founder began leaking amniotic fluid and had to be induced. Doctors gave her Pitocin, a medication used to provoke contractions, and a Foley balloon, which is a catheter-like device that gets the cervix to dilate. "That s--- was so crazy," she said of the experience. "That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing." Hailey shared withVoguethat her labor lasted 18 hours from the beginning to the birth of her baby boy. After delivering Jack, Hailey had a postpartum hemorrhage, a potentially life-threatening condition of severe or excessive bleeding after childbirth, perCleveland Clinic, which the model admitted was "a little bit scary." "I trust my doctor with my life, and so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind."

"And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, 'They'regetting divorced' and 'They're this' and 'They're not happy,' it is such a mindf----." She added, "I cannot even begin to explain it. It's a crazy life to live." Read the original article onPeople
