Maren Morris had an emergency C-section after 30 hours of labor with son Hayes… as singer describes eerily quiet maternity ward due to pandemic
Maren Morris had to have an emergency Caesarean section after a 30-hour labor.
The 29-year-old singer and her husband Ryan Hurd, 33, welcomed son Hayes Andrew Hurd earlier this week but Maren admitted that her labor was an intense ordeal.
Sharing a picture of her baby boy on Instagram on Friday, she wrote: ’30 hours of labor ended with an emergency c-section… not what we planned but I learned pretty quickly that night that having a plan for bringing a human into the world is a fool’s errand.’

Maren went on to describe the strange atmosphere on the maternity ward amid the coronavirus outbreak with much of the world under strict social distancing rules.
‘All that mattered was that he got here safely. Having him in the middle of a global health crisis was also not in the baby prep books, but here we are.
‘Holding him and healing my body in a maternity ward that’s eerily quiet from us not being allowed visitors or family at this time, but strangely serene.
‘All we hear are monitors beeping and the coos of our infant son. Maybe the sound of the 100th episode of The Office @ryanhurd and I have binged while in here (sic).’

So tiny: ‘Hayes Andrew Hurd. 3/23/20. Love of our lives,’ the brunette beauty captioned the set of photos taken in a hospital
She also shared how grateful she and her husband are for the medical staff who helped deliver their son. Maren wrote: ‘The admiration we have for the doctors, nurses + healthcare professionals that took care of Hayes & me during our stay cannot be measured in this post.
‘They risked their health every day to make sure ours was okay. I can’t think of anything more selfless than that. Ultimately, I can’t thank every single mother enough for going through what you’ve gone through because I had NO idea how hard it could be, and I’m a measly 4 days in.
‘The world is changing before our eyes and so am I. That’s been a peaceful thing to cling to during these uncertain times. Thinking of you all (sic).’

Maren revealed her pregnancy back in October, and shared a photo of herself cradling her growing bump as her husband Ryan Hurd gazed at her.
‘The irony is just too rich that after a year of living in the “GIRL” headspace, the universe would give us a baby boy to even things out. See you in 2020, little one,’ she wrote on Instagram.
It is the first child for Maren and her husband of 19 months.
Maren and the Platonic singer originally met in 2013 when they co-wrote Tim McGraw’s 2014 track Last Turn Home.
