During a recent podcast appearance, she explained the many hurdles she experienced while trying to give birth and, at one point, thought her baby boy was not going to 'make it'
The reality star began her story by explaining how she had to get induced after she was informed by doctors that her baby had an 'umbilical vein varix.'
'So with Andara, I progressed pretty quickly,' she said about a similar situation the first time she gave birth.
She explained that when she gave birth to her daughter, it was a 21-hour experience including 'an hour and 15' minutes of pushing.'
Her second child is healthy now, but she said giving birth to Rowan was a different experience and took 40 hours in total as well as a 'traumatic' operating room trip.

She said she was 'already dilating' at 36 weeks and believed their baby boy 'was going to come early' and 'really quick.'
Nielson also explained that she initially wanted to give a natural birth and opted out of an epidural, but when the situation turned more serious later on and it had been already '35 hours of me being induced,' she had no choice.
At one point in the hospital, she explained that a balloon was giving her contractions every five minutes, but it ended up getting 'stuck' and she 'just started bleeding a lot.'
'Things just really started to go downhill, honestly, from that point because it got completely stuck,' she said before adding that she was 'almost screaming in pain and they couldn't get it out.'
She recalled how she had contractions for a long time while giving birth to her first child Andara, who is now four, but the second time around turned into an emergency situation
