Sadie Robertson has been open and honest about her experience with motherhood. The Duck Dynasty star, who shares three children with husband Christian Huff, has not shied away from discussing intimate details about her births and postpartum struggles over the years. (She welcomed daughters Honey James, Haven Belle and Kit Carroway in May 2021, May 2023 and August 2025, respectively.) "I have struggled with anxiety for years, and even wrote a book called Live Fearless because of my journey with anxiety ... I'm constantly trying to fight fear in my life, but when I had [Honey] and I was going through that postpartum, it was like so many emotions happening that I couldn't really fight the fear like I normally do," Robertson said on her "WHOA That's Good" podcast in 2021. Robertson, who was just a teen when she rose to fame on Duck Dynasty alongside her family, added that a lot of her worries revolved around her birth experience with Honey, who "got stuck" during labor and delivery. "Because Honey and I had the labor that we experienced, my mind kept going into the, 'What ifs?' Like, what would have happened, what if it did last one more minute and she didn't make it, what if she didn't actually end up coming out ... What if I lost too much blood?'" Robertson said. "It led me into, 'Is she really OK, did she really make it through that, did I really make it through that? Is there something wrong with me (or) her? What if all the things. And you know, that is such a toxic brain spiral." Below, see more quotes about motherhood from Robertson: On Her 'Chaotic' First Birth When Robertson welcomed Honey in 2021, she experienced a harrowing labor and delivery. "So I go to push and everything gets crazy," she recalled on her podcast at the time. "All of a sudden, I was pushed down on the bed and they pushed my mom out of the way, and every nurse in the room was just over me and they're pulling my legs and pushing my stomach as hard as they could and honestly I didn't know what happened. I thought they ... cut me open ... because of how painful it was when they pressed on my stomach. I now know they were pressing my pelvic bone to get her out because what happened was Honey got stuck." Robertson went on to detail how Honey's shoulder was stuck in the birth canal, which is "really, really rare" and happens in about 1 percent of births. "Our nurse said that is the scariest thing that can happen in a vaginal delivery," she admitted, adding, "Time just stood still. ... The shoulder was clamping the umbilical cord, causing her not to get air." Honey was stuck for over two minutes, but doctors eventually got her out. It took them some time to get her to breathe on her own, but when she did, all was well. Surprisingly, the baby's shoulder wasn't injured during delivery. "They had three doctors check her shoulder because they were in disbelief it didn't break," Robertson said. Sadie Robertson with Haven.

She added, "It was a total different perspective than I have ever had of my body ... that is truly powerful and more than just an image. I didn't want to wear makeup and I wanted my grandma to braid my hair because that's when I feel the most myself and it's just such a raw moment." On Postpartum Anxiety Robertson initially kept quiet about her postpartum anxiety for fear of being misunderstood. "I didn't understand how I could be so happy and so joyful [to have a baby] but also experience so much fear," she said on her podcast in 2021, adding that she soon realized the two feelings could exist "hand in hand" together. "The reason I was so fearful is because I loved her so much ... I was so happy to get to be her mom. However, just because it makes rational sense that I had some fear doesn't mean that that's something I needed to live with," Robertson added. She began to "override that fear with gratitude," and bonded with Huff, who was also facing challenges as a first-time father. "We both needed to open up about it," Robertson, who eventually sought help with a specialist, said. Sadie Robertson with daughter Haven.

"Leading up to having her I was so excited to have her, to like welcome that change into life, but a little bit nervous." "I was more nervous about having two kids," Huff added. The two also shared that they had some comedic relief their second go-around after a skunk sprayed their house ahead of delivery and their anesthesiologist "had a booger. A big one. On his face. For a solid 30 minutes," Huff chuckled. How Motherhood
