Why NBA distracted Swan at baby’s birth

The former Collingwood champion said Wilson gave birth to their first child in 90 minutes and described it as surreal when he held his son for the first time.“He’s good, mum and baby are healthy and happy,’’ Swan told KIIS FM’s Jase & PJ in the Morning, from the VIP suite at the Epworth Hospital.“It went really quickly actually, I didn’t get much of a chance to do anything. We had a heap of plans in place and pressure points in place to relieve the stress. I went to touch her once and she told me to p— off pretty quickly.

“She was only in labour for 90 minutes. She banged it out in 90 minutes.“She delivered with just a midwife, she did it all natural without any drugs. She was pretty incredible.“It was the last week of my multi so I kind of had one eye on the Lakers and one eye on her.”Swan added: “It was wild. It was surreal actually thinking that we’d made this little thing. “Especially the way he comes out and cutting the chord. Staring at him in his little bed, thinking we made him and he’s ours, is wild. I’m not sure it’s all sunk in yet.”Swan said it felt like he was in hotel quarantine due to the COVID restrictions.They haven’t named their son yet.“Unfortunately, we actually haven’t named him yet,’’ Swan said.“We’ve got his name for the next hopefully 90 years so probably a thing we should get around to talking about. We’ve kind of forgotten.”“It honestly feels like I’m in hotel quarantine. There’s literally nothing to do so we just sit in a room and as the dad I’ve got absolutely nothing to do apart from sit here.“I’m going a bit stir crazy and I don’t know how people quarantine for two weeks. “I’ve been here for two nights and starting to go half mad.”Swan said he’d had his first go at changing a nappy.“Had my first experience of that, I’m not quick at it,’’ he said.“He’s done a couple of poos which is great, just like his dad.”
