Megan Young says being a mother feels like a 'dream'

June 22 ------ Miss World 2013 Megan Young is officially in her mom era, and is feeling emotional about this new chapter in her life. Megan and her husband, Mikael Daez, shared a video about their birth journey on their YouTube channel.

In the video, Mikael began documenting his wife's pregnancy journey at 39 weeks during Mother's Day. The beauty queen stayed active during the final weeks, even managing to squeeze in some light workouts. She also shared the moment she felt her first contraction. At 40 weeks, the couple patiently waited for Megan to go into labor. "I feel like this is a dream. I feel like everything is happening so quickly," she said.

Megan said the moment reminded her of the final day of Miss World 2013, the day she took home the crown. She added, "Parang chill lang, relax lang, tapos all of a sudden tapos na. So I feel like ganon din ang mangyayari dito when I give birth." As her due date approached, Megan's mother also could not help but turn emotional, overwhelmed with joy and anticipation.

With excitement growing for the arrival of their baby boy, Mikael even prepared cameras and phones to document the special moment and share it with loved ones, all while staying by Megan's side. Megan gave birth to baby Leon after almost a 20-hour labor. While breastfeeding baby Leon, Megan shared she still could not believe that motherhood had finally become her reality. "Oh my gosh, I'm breastfeeding, I can't believe I'm doing this, this is insane," she said.

As a first-time mom, Megan shared that she is filled with "happiness, excitement, and so much love." The beauty queen continued to express her excitement, saying that being a mother is "fun" and everything still feels new to her. Home became even warmer as the couple brought their baby boy in for the first time, and their family was moved to tears of joy. Overwhelmed with joy, Megan burst into tears, saying, "I'm so happy." She added, "Everything is starting to sink in already. I'm a mom!"
