Immy was born at 12:29pm on May 29 weighing 3.47kgs and measured 51cms long.
Beck's labour started at 2:03am on May 28.
"I tried to stay at home as long as I could," the new mum wrote.
But by 6:06am she needed pain relief and made her way to the hospital. She was sent home with pain relief, where she waited for her contractions to be closer together.
"Did 12 lonnggg hours more…with constant vomiting, the tank was almost empty," read text in the video.
Beck described her labour as "physically and mentally exhausting." Instagram/@beckzemek
After 16 hours of labour Beck went back to the hospital only to discover she had only progressed 2cms. The 30-year-old wrote she was "trying to stay positive and ride the wave."
The home video showed footage of Ben nervously pacing around the room waiting for their baby girl's arrival.
Finally, after 36 hours of labour Beck and Ben got to hold newborn Immy.

"Awww she is beautiful. Congratulations again to the both of you," MAFS' Liam Cooper wrote.
"Congratulations to you both Beck! She's so adorable," Aleks Markovic said.
The reality star first announced the news of her pregnancy last December in a joint post with Ben on Instagram.
"Thank you to everyone who has kept this a secret for such a long time!!! Also for all the wonderful support over the last few months, it truly means the world to us 🤍," Beck captioned the post.
"Who knew the best was yet to come, this is such a miracle for us and we are already over filled with love for you little one 😭🤍."
Beck posted many updates during her pregnancy. At 22 weeks she told fans that she was "embracing" her new body.
"Trying to embrace my softness now I'm starting to not feel any muscles tense 😬," she captioned the post.
She also explained one way that she had gone about finding a baby name that she and boyfriend Ben agreed on.
"Ben and I have downloaded a baby name tinder, it's where if you both like a name it will match and go on the list 😅 at the moment there is a hot 5 in the running 🤩."
In early April Ben shared a post of the couple at their baby shower, revealing that they were still yet to agree on a name.
Beck first rose to fame when appearing on Married At First Sight Season 8, where she was romantically matched with Jake Edwards.
The pair's relationship sadly ended in shambles after Beck got caught up in a cheating scandal.
She has since found love with Ben and the couple have been building a home together in Perth. They were hoping the house would be ready to move into with their daughter although it's nor clear if the build has finished.
Congratulations to Beck and Ben on this wonderful news!
