Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy confirmed the arrival of her second child and detailed her traumatic 48-hour labor story on Thursday.
The reality TV fixture, 34, revealed to Us Weekly that she gave birth to a daughter named Teddi — her first child with husband Brett Randle, 38 — on Sunday, June 29.
Madison named her newborn after her late father, Ted LeCroy, who died in 2023.
The star is also mom to son, Hudson, 12, whom she shares with her first husband, Josh Hughes.
Madison revealed that Teddi required time in the NICU after being born via C-section at just 34 weeks, which is roughly eight months into pregnancy.
'I was in labor for 48 hours basically [because] my water broke at home,' she said of the 'crazy' start to her birth experience.
Madison, who is based in South Carolina, was thrown for a loop when she went into labor at 2:30 a.m. after attending a concert for her mother Tara LeCroy's birthday.
At the time, her husband Randle was across the country in California for work.
'I ran upstairs, and I was like, 'Mom, I don't have anything packed,'' Madison recalled. 'It was funny 'cause me and her both were like in my closet trying to pick out what we were gonna wear to the hospital.'
When she finally arrived to the hospital, Madison learned that she was one centimeter dilated.
Being that she was only eight months into her pregnancy when her water broke, Madison said that the doctors tried as long as they could to delay Teddi's delivery.
'We kind of prolonged the labor and Brett got here and then we waited another day and had the C-section and there she was five minutes later,' she explained.
After spending 48 hours in labor, Madison was forced to send Teddi to the NICU for 'a few days' because it is hospital 'protocol' for premature babies.
'She's a little. She's only five pounds, but she's breathing on her own and hasn't needed any oxygen or anything like that,' Madison shared.
'She's kind of a little trooper.'
Madison said that her doctors were 'shocked with how early she was that she was gonna be this independent. So I was like, "Oh, I wasn't shocked at all."'
Madison then shared what music she listened to during her C-section.
'My doctor, she's amazing. And at this point she was, like, a friend, and we were sitting there talking and we were like, "What's the playlist gonna be for this?"' Madison recalled to Us Weekly.
'And we were joking around, we're like, "Girl power, let's go Taylor Swift." So we did, we rocked out to Taylor Swift during the surgery.
'So that's what she was born to. Now don't ask me what song, because at that point I don't have no idea. But yeah, girl mode all the way.'
In order to feel and look her best for Teddi's early arrival, Madison said she called in her glam squad last-minute.
'This is even crazier. Once I got [to the hospital] and I realized I didn't even have, like, a toothbrush, I ended up having like my glam come to me,' she shared.
'I did a blowout and then I did a little fast face, like, makeup natural with one of my girls.'
Madison also spoke to PageSix about her newborn daughter and her reasoning for naming her after her late father, Ted.
She said that she wanted her dad's name to 'live on through [her] baby,' adding, 'We might as well just make the name continue to grow.'
In regards to Teddi's arrival, she told the outlet that her and Randle are 'super excited and just living in pure bliss at the moment. It doesn't even feel real.'
Madison and her husband, who have married since November 2022 when they tied the knot in Mexico, shared the happy news that they were expecting in February.
'And just like that... our world is changing in the most magical way! ✨ Seeing 'Pregnant' on this @clearbluetest was the best moment of our lives. We can't wait to meet you, little one,' she captioned her Instagram post announcing the news.
The reality TV star said she was 'shocked' when her pregnancy test came back positive.
'Honestly, when Brett and I were making this plan of growing our family, I was like, 'Okay, we've got to make this as easy as possible,'' she shared with People.
'So I actually started using the Clearblue ovulation test, and I got a smiley face. Once we got the smiley face, we were like, 'Okay, it's go time,' and it instantly happened.'
'I was shocked, I thought I had all summer long, but it happened and I felt actually pretty great other than some minor headaches,' LeCroy continued.
'But other than that, just eating all the food and enjoying myself.'
The good news comes after Brett's diagnosis with thyroid cancer and the death of her father in 2023.
'I honestly was pinching myself because I hadn't heard good news in it felt like the last two years, so to hear something that was so positive and something that we've been wanting and looking forward to was just super exciting,' she shared.
'And of course, everybody in our family and everybody was rooting for us.'
She shared how excited she is, saying she's so happy to finally share the news with her fans.
'I'm ecstatic. I just can't get enough. I'm so glad to finally be able to talk about it, she said.
'I've been in hiding for too long, and so I'm excited to be able to show the bump off.'
Madison shared that the first person she told about her pregnancy was her 'best friend,' her son Hudson.
He was my first one that I told,' she shared. 'And yeah, he was excited. Obviously, at first he's like, 'Eh.'
'And then we recently got a puppy, so he goes, 'Actually I really love caring, so might as well.' I was like, 'Okay. This is going to be way different, but okay,''
Since it's been 12 years since she had her first baby, LeCroy explained that things are a bit different this time around.
'It's the total opposite than what I experienced at 22 years old,' she explained. I had the glowing skin and I had all that, and this is the opposite.
'I'm exhausted, full-blown adult acne, and didn't lose any weight at the beginning, versus [with] Hudson, I was starting off in a negative. So I can just tell it's a 12-year difference.'
