Bachelor alum Ashley Spivey opens up about scary birth of daughter

Ashley Spivey is opening up about the birth of her daughter. She went to Instagram to share all the happy yet scary details. Ashley said, “Hello 🌎 – meet Penelope “Penny” Lyn Spivey Hunsberger ( W: 7.4lbs H: 19.5in). She really did not want to come out of Château Spivey but was kicked out of her residence at 9:11pm via C-section. Mom lost some blood and scared everyone but she had the best doctors ever so everyone is ok.”

She went on to say “She has super light brown hair and blue eyes so @shunsy14’s dreams came true and I’ve pretty much just cried nonstop ever since they showed me her. I didn’t get to hold her until later today bc I was in recovery until early this morning.”

Ashley concluded saying, “We are all so in love with our very alert 🦃 baby and I know CJ was watching over us for every step along the way. Thank you so much to everyone who has been so good to us over this journey – despite everything, we feel like the luckiest parents in the world.✨”

Along with the post she shared multiple photos of her and her Penny.

The loss of CJ and another baby

Ashley and Steve had a little boy who was stillborn in November 2020. Christopher James did not survive as the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. Of course, this devasted Ashley and Steve and she shared her grieving journey with followers.

Then only five months later Ashley endured another loss. After beginning IVF and having an embryo implanted, she miscarried.

Thinking she would be doing IVF once more, Ashley had eggs extracted and was ready to go. However, fate came along with another plot twist, she ended up pregnant on her own with Penny.
