The actress, who is best known for her role as Mariah on the hit CBS soap, welcomed her son Bridger back in December along with her husband, Brock Powell.

In a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, Camryn opened up about her birth experience.

She said, “He came at 37 and a half weeks; he was early but not, like, crazy early.”

“I was hoping to do an at-home birth but between the time my water broke and the time I ended up getting to the hospital, it was like a span of an hour, and I went from having contractions every 15, 20 minutes to roiling contractions, so it was happening too quickly.”

“We got to the hospital and turns out when my water broke, he just dropped down before my cervix was fully dilated.”

Camryn also recalled the first time that she put her new bundle of joy in her arms.

She said, “When they put him on me and he cried, I was doing the same thing [I did] after Brock proposed to me; I was just going, ‘Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.’”

“It was all I knew to say. It’s kind of crazy — you spend nine months of being pregnant, fully aware of everything that’s going on, but your belly doesn’t come with a window, so [giving birth] can be the most shocking thing.”

“You could have all of the knowledge of what is happening and still the second that that baby comes out, you’re like, ‘What?! That was in there the whole time?!’ It feels like a magic trick. I still have trouble wrapping my brain around it. I look at him now and I’m like, “You’re here because I cooked you.”
