Ashley Tisdaleis reflecting on her “amazing labor experience” with daughterJupiter Iris.

“When they say it takes a village it truly does,” wrote Tisdale, 35. “I had an amazing labor experience, of course there was pain but I set my intentions that morning and it was exactly how I wanted Jupiter to enter the world.”

TheHigh School Musicalalum went on to say in her Tuesday post that her intentions consisted of setting a “calm” and “peaceful” environment, while “letting go of fear and being super present.”

“I honestly couldn’t have had that mindset if it werent for my amazing doula@lbreggy, she was the game changer,” Tisdale continued. “Flameless candles, fairy lights, massages, but it’s her presence that calms you.”

Tisdale also praised her “badass” doctor, explaining, “I trusted that I could let go of any fears because I knew if something came up she could handle it,” as well as the nurses at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she gave birth.

“And of course my amazing husband@cmfrenchwho at times I looked at in my deepest pain and I could see he was scared but his calming nature and breathing techniques help me calm down,” she wrote of husbandChristopher French.

“It was just amazing for both@cmfrenchand I to see all these women cheering me on. It was powerful and life changing,” she concluded.

“Drops of Jupiter,” she captioned the sweet snap.

Tisdale also raved about French, whom she married in 2014, as he attempted to master the art of the swaddle. “But seriouslyhow sweet is he? Best dad,” she wrote alongside a black-and-white video on her Instagram Story.
