Amber Rose has a healthy baby boy with beau Wiz Khalifa, but it turns out her pregnancy didn't go according to plan.

During an appearance on The Ricki Lake Show Tuesday, the 29-year-old model revealed how she originally hoped to have an at-home water birth, but her plans "went down the drain" after learning her baby was breech at 37 weeks pregnant.

"I found out really, really late that my son was breech," the new mom told the talk show host. "So I had to just switch it," she revealed, admitting she was "terrified" to have the C-section surgery.  

"It literally took me the whole time to prepare myself for a water birth, and like, in an instant, I was gonna get my abdomen cut open and have, like, major surgery. And I'd never had surgery before, so I was really, really scared."

But the first-time mama says it wasn't a tough to give up her home birthing dream, "At that point, I just wanted my baby," she said. 

And lucky for Amber, her rapper beau was by her side to lend support:

"I was so scared," she said of having the surgery. "But then when Wiz came in, he just talked to me the whole time, and all of a sudden we heard Sebastian cry."

And now that the twosome have a beautiful baby boy, Rose said she has no regrets: 

"I feel like I made the right decision," she said, while adding motherhood is "awesome." 

"He's a good boy," she gushed with a smile. 

Aw, we're thrilled Amber and her bundle of joy are both happy and healthy!
