Alongside a Nikkole detailed the delivery experience on Saturday.

She wrote: “Introducing our beautiful rainbow boy, Bodhi John Ledda aka Bo Bo!

“We went to the hospital Wednesday morning at 6 am to be induced and I was still only dilated to a one 😫.”

The alum continued: “At 8 am, they gave me cyotec to get my cervix ripened and dilating. Over the next 4 hours I started having pretty good contractions but when I was checked at noon I had only dilated to a 2.”

The doctor eventually decided to break the MTV alum’s water, while she then decided to take Nubane and Pitocin to numb the pain of the contractions.

Her contractions eventually became “really intense” and she asked for an epidural, explaining: “I was so excited only to find out I needed a bag of fluids before they could give me the epidural.

“This is when things became a blur for me. I was in soooo much pain. I was sobbing and begging them to hurry up and give me the epidural. My poor husband is probably traumatized because I was acting like a she-demon 🤣.”

Nikkole detailed suffering through “the worst contractions she’s ever had," adding that she eventually got the epidural and it soon became time to push.

“I may have told Kyle several times while I was in labor that I’m never having another baby but we’re already talking about the next one 😅.”

The caption concluded: “We are so in love & so happy to share this little guy with you all.”
