90 Day Fiance’s Jasmine Reveals How Boyfriend Matt Supported Her During Natural Labor With Their Baby
90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda opened up about how her boyfriend, Matthew “Matt” Branistareanu, supported her during labor with their baby, Matilda.
Jasmine, 38, shared some photos of Matty’s birth via her Instagram Stories and Matt, 37, was by her side. In the black and white photo, Jasmine could be seen in a bathtub filled with water while wearing just a bra and a look of pain on her face. Matt stood next to her with his hand in his hair and seemed concerned.
“I love Matt’s gesture in this picture,” Jasmine wrote alongside the image she posted on Saturday, April 19. “He kept saying to me, ‘Honey, I’m so sorry.’ He could clearly see how much pain I was going through.”
A separate picture showed Matt holding Matty as she was born and Jasmine wrote that “he got Matty out of [her].”
The mom of three also added, “Esta carreta la jalamos los dos,” which translates to “We both pull this cart.”
Earlier this week, Jasmine shared Matty’s birth story with her fans on social media.
“I was terrified of giving birth in a foreign country- with no family by my side except from my daughter’s father. I made up my mind to have an unmedicated, natural birth once my obgyn gave me the green light to do so,” the Panama native wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, April 16, alongside a photo of herself holding on to Matt while she was in labor. “One week after finding the right place with the right people to help me deliver my daughter, she decided it was time for her to make her big entrance in this world. My daughter was delivered by the most powerful, black woman I’ve ever gotten to know and that same as me, she’s an immigrant.”
Jasmine continued, “I endured 5 hours of pain during labor but it was worth every minute to hold my sweet angel in my arms. And just like that, I feel [like] the most powerful woman ever after birthing her! There’s nothing I will change about this wonderful experience. It’s a memory I will always cherish in my heart and friendly reminder of how strong and loving we, women, are!”
She added that Matt “supported her in every contraction,” and the reality TV star finally revealed the little one’s actual birth date as March 21.
The date of Matty’s birth has been something fans have been curious about since Jasmine and Matt announced that their daughter had arrived.
“Introducing Matty, our sweet baby girl! She’s already filling our hearts with so much love and joy,” Jasmine and Matt told People on April 9. “We’re beyond grateful for this new chapter in our lives.”
Jasmine found herself being questioned about Matty’s actual birth date when she shared photos of the baby and many thought she seemed more than just a few days old. Other critics questioned Jasmine’s ability to lose weight in such a short amount of time.
“She said she gained 70 pounds. Guess she has a magical body that sheds 70 pounds in 3 weeks or it’s more like 4 months and the dates are incorrect,” one person wrote in the comments section on Instagram, while another said, “3 weeks???…..I thought she was born a few days ago.”
