Model Christy Turlington has described the suffering the following birth of her first child – she had to endure a “clearly painful” emergency procedure just an hour after she delivered the baby.
The brown beauty and her actor husband Edward Burns received their first kids (daughter) Grace in 2003 and she enjoyed a “perfect” birth, even though the tot was two weeks late. However, doctors became worried when more than an hour passed after the delivery and Turlington had still failed to pass the baby’s placenta. The star was diagnosed with a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), a potentially life-threatening complication, and medics were required to remove the placenta by hand – which Turlington describes as “a really painful experience”.
