Brittany shared the dramatic story during an Instagram Q&A
Fans were asking Brittany a few questions about her labor and delivery when the information came out. In a since-expired post captured by People, Brittany shared that she went into labor at 39 weeks and three days. She said her water broke earlier in the day, and it only took seven minutes of pushing for Bronze to arrive.
While it sounds like Bronze's delivery was easy, he did have trouble with his cord
Brittany went on to reveal that her son entered the world with his cord around his neck. “His cord was wrapped around his neck two times and thankfully didn’t affect anything,” she wrote, adding that he ultimately was fine.
This is called a nuchal cord or loop. A single nuchal happens in around 20% of pregnancies while multiple loops only occur in 5% of births, according to the March of Dimes.
Brittany also revealed exactly when Bronze was conceived
Fans were curious to find out when the former soccer pro and her Super Bowl champ husband decided to start trying for another baby after welcoming their daughter, Sterling Skye, in February 2021. According to Brittany, her son wasn’t a planned pregnancy but instead was a welcome surprise!
He came to be during a special time for his parents
Apparently, Brittany and Patrick ended up adding a second child to their family shortly after tying the knot. Brittany joked that Bronze wasn’t planned when a fan asked, sharing that he was conceived “on our wedding night.”
The couple married during a beautiful beach ceremony in Hawaii in March 2022.
