Back in July, Christine admitted she was ‘lucky to be alive’ as she recalled ‘flatlining’ during traumatic birth to her son Christian.
The Selling Sunset star shared a lengthy Instagram post to celebrate her son’s two-month birthday where she discussed his ‘dramatic entry’ into the world via emergency C-section.
Quinn noted that ‘reliving the trauma’ on the Netflix show has been agonizing as she detailed how her son was ‘seconds away from not making it.’
She also recalled how doctors had to run her through an X-ray machine to see if they left any tools in her body because she was ‘flatlining’ during surgery.

‘Happy 2 month birthday to my sweet little baby! Two months ago today, you made an extremely dramatic entrance, just like your mommy. (Except you were very early, and I am always late),’ she wrote.
‘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.
‘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.
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. Let go of what you can, and take chances. Give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy.
‘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 true Boss Bitch.’
