And I don't know, three months in, I was like, I'm having a C-section.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

And so when they told me I had to have a C-section, I wasn't surprised, and I went with the plan.

So, so anyway, so I was, I told the nurse that and she just was like, this is crazy talk, which may have sounded like crazy talk for me to tell him what to give her exactly, quote unquote, what I needed and how I needed it.

And then I started coughing so hard.

And so like my, I was holding a pillow on my stomach and I was just coughing because I was just like, I'm like, they're going to break.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson

They're going to break.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

And I couldn't breathe.
