Christine Quinn has revealed she started “flatlining” during the birth of her first child.
The 31-year-old and her husband Christian Richard welcomed a son named Christian Georges Dumontet on May 15, two weeks before his due date.
The reality star was rushed into hospital for an emergency c-section, and Christine has since admitted doctors saved both of their lives.

Sharing new photos with her son on Instagram, Christine told fans: “Happy 2 month birthday to my sweet little baby! Two months ago today, you made an extremely dramatic entrance, just like your mommy.”
“Reliving the trauma on Selling Sunset about my birth experience, was one of the most difficult things I have ever done; let alone allowing these very raw, personal moments of my life captured on camera,” she continued.
“I am not often publicly vulnerable, as I feel the responsibility to put on a brave face, despite still feeling at the time hopeless, terrified, and to this day traumatized. Both myself, and baby Christian are lucky to be alive.”
“After my water broke the day I was filming, I was rushed to the hospital already 9cm dilated. Hyperventilating from the excruciating pain, I was immediately rushed in to an emergency crash C-section due to both our heart rates instantly plummeting.”

“Baby C umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. Baby C was seconds away from not making it. The surgeons didn’t even have time to count their tools before stitching me up as I was flatlining,” Christine revealed.
“They ran me through the X-ray machine immediately after surgery to ensure there was no remaining tools left in my body. I am so grateful for the doctors and surgeons that saved BOTH of us.”
“I thank God everyday for my blessings, and my miracle baby. Always remember life is too short and grudges are a waste of perfect happiness,” she wrote.
“Let go of what you can, and take chances. Give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy.”
Christine added: “With this, I realized that with the responsibility of being a role model, it requires complete authenticity, and I wouldn’t be genuine if I didn’t share my vulnerabilities in the process.”
“That to me is the true definition of being a Boss B***h.”
