In an interview with Babe by HATCH, she further spoke about James' "early entrance" by revealing that he was born three weeks ahead of his due date.

"It was funny because these contractions just came on suddenly, and I thought they were Braxton Hicks because everyone was asking me if I had experienced that yet. I actually had them a few weeks before, but they were mild," she recalled. She later revealed that the contractions started two days before she gave birth to James.

After her doctor initially saw no signs of labor, the contractions began to intensify, and she was rushed to the hospital.

"Luckily, we were a two-minute drive from the hospital because I was already four centimeters dilated," she continued. "This was at 12:45 a.m., and he was born at 10:30 a.m. the next morning. Labor and delivery was super smooth – and there he was, and he was perfect."
