Ashley Tisdale is reflecting on her "amazing labor experience" with daughter Jupiter Iris.
Marking her baby girl's 1-week birthday, the actress and singer shared a collection of photos and a video from her time in the hospital, and opened up in the caption about how happy she was with how the day played out.
"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."
The High School Musical alum 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."

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