Bre Tiesi compared her time on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test to childbirth.

The Selling Sunset star said the show’s tasks are harder than giving birth with ‘no drugs.’

Tiesi shares 3-year-old son Legendary with Nick Cannon.

Birth has nothing on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, just ask Bre Tiesi.

“Child labor was better than this — with no drugs,” the Selling Sunset star stated during Thursday’s episode of the Fox reality show, which sees celebrities attempting to complete military-style training while in the Malaysian jungle.

Tiesi admittedly had a difficult time completing this week’s initial task, nearly dropping out of the competition.

The Directing Staff led the remaining recruits onto a bridge in which ladders were suspended 300 feet above the jungle’s canopy. Two competitors were paired up to retrieve a 15-pound bag of supplies and return to the bridge. They had five minutes to complete the challenge.

Tiesi told the DS officer that she was afraid of heights because of “the inevitable” before taking on the task. His advice? “Don’t hit the floor.” That did not stop her from nearly backing down.

When climbing over the bridge’s rail, Tiesi said she was “not okay.” She added, “I don’t think I can do this.” Fellow contestant Colin Gosselin was sharing words of support for Tiesi during the mini-meltdown.

“There’s no way,” Tiesi said as the DS told her there was only a mental block. Eventually, she made it over the ledge when Gosselin said, “Bre, you got this, your kid’s watching.”

The Netflix star had the ultimate reply, hitting back with, “My kid told me I was an idiot for this and he’s only 3.” Tiesi shares son Legendary with Nick Cannon, whom she’s been in an on-and-off relationship with for nearly 10 years.

Tiesi and Gosselin completed the challenge with seconds to spare. “I never want to do that ever again in my whole life,” Tiesi said after she passed the task. “Thank you, I’ve done it. No, thank you.”

Prior to the Special Forces premiere on Sept. 24, Tiesi admitted that she was worried about dying on the show.

“I was, like, ‘Can I die here? Because, if I die here, I can’t rely on Nick, he’s busy, so I need to get home to my child,’” she told Us Weeklylast week, noting that the production staff assured her that it was safe. “I was, like, ‘Am I, though? Because this doesn’t feel safe at all.’”

She added, “You really do think about those things because, at the end of the day, I’m his mother. My only responsibility is to him, so I’m like, ‘Is this the right choice to throw myself off of this?’”

Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test airs on Fox Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
