Witney Carson took to Instagram to share an adorable video of her in the hospital just moments after giving birth to her child and is giving her fans some of the behind-the-scenes details.

"Jets birth story," she began in the caption. "It was about 6 pm on May 13th (the day before Mother's Day). I had contractions about 5 mins apart. By the time we got to the hospital, they were 3 mins apart and getting intense. The doctor called after checking on me, and we were back in the O.R. by 8:45 pm. We couldn't believe we would be meeting our baby so soon!"

She continued, "I was coherent during the c-section; I had my country music playing and Cars [her husband] next to my head, holding my hand. Jet, our sweet baby boy, was born 10 minutes later at 21:21🙏🏼😭."

Carson said Jet had to be rushed to NICU to be observed while on the C-pap machine to help him breathe.

"Soon after he was placed on my chest, he was rushed to the NICU. He spent an hour on the C-pap machine to help him breathe and another hour for observation. Felt like the longest two hours of my life…," she continued to explain. "We spent most of Mother's Day cuddling skin to skin, and he continued to get better 🥹🙏🏼 He's a little fighter, and we couldn't be more grateful that he's here with us. We love you so much, Jet🤍."

One of Carson's fans commented, "I have watched this repeatedly, and I just cry and cry. It's such a beautiful thing to witness. THAT WASN'T EVEN ALLOWED when I had my son 53 years ago. No one could be in there with me. No family, no husband. And they didn't bring him in and lay him on my chest as they do now. Such a beautiful story, your family. Thank you for sharing."

And another wrote, "You make motherhood and giving birth look so easy, Whitney. It's such a beautiful video seeing the love ❤️."
