She welcomed a baby boy into the world just two weeks ago, and now Biggest Loser coach Tiffiny Hall has revealed she initially ‘didn’t even notice’ she was in labour.
Speaking to Kidspot, the new mum – whose husband is comedian Ed Kavalee – said the arrival of baby Arnold was swift.
‘We got to our weekly appointment and my obstetrician said “oh you’re 2cm dilated, you’re in labour!” And I said “oh am I?” I didn’t even notice. And then it was all happening from there, within two hours I had Arnold,’ the fitness star told the publication.

Tiffiny (pictured here before her pregnancy) said Arnold’s arrival was swift and he came into the world after two hours
Tiffiny explained that their baby boy’s arrival was complicated by the fact that his heart rate dropped prior to birth, and he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.
This meant that whilst his arrival was swift, it was excruciatingly painful.
‘So I didn’t have any time to enjoy the epidural, they pretty much flung me back, my legs went up in the stirrups and I had to start pushing,’ Tiffiny told Kidspot.
Referring to the pain of the contractions, the fitness enthusiast said they were ‘off the scale’.
‘I did not expect it to be so painful. I’ve done a lot of painful things in my life training wise and pushing myself but nothing can ever compare to that,’ she said.

Sharing her thoughts on becoming a mother with her 76,000 followers on Instagram recently, Tiffiny revealed she was loving parenthood.
‘My days are full of stretch marks, no sleep, still with my pregnant belly, stitches, aching breasts and you know what? I would do it one hundred times over, just to hold you in my arms like this. I love our new normal, Arnold,’ she wrote.

Speaking to Yahoo Be, the 33-year-old confirmed she wouldn’t be sharing any photos of her post-baby body because they send an unhealthy message to other women.
‘I think gosh, if you’re having a baby to have a bounce-back cover story or to use the baby for publicity, or anything like that, you’ve got to look at yourself,’ Tiffiny told the publication.
‘So when I see a bounce-back photo, I know what’s gone into it and I’m not prepared to sacrifice the sacred time of the newborn bubble with my husband and my firstborn child to be slogging it out.’
