Christine Quinn - Selling Sunset C Section?

[Moonopoly]

Anyone else watching SS and totally confused how Christine Quinn is doing yoga, wearing huge heels and mini skirts a few days/weeks after a c section?
It’s frying my brain! Surely something is a miss?!

Oh and an emergency section at that

As someone who had an emergency c section 2 weeks ago, I too am baffled!!

Timelines of filming not very honest/chronological at best, and at worst if you go over to Reddit there's much speculation she wasn't pregnant at all.

Because she either wasn’t pregnant at all, didn’t have a c-section or didn’t have the baby on the timeline she states

Either the timeline is faked or a surrogate?!

If she had a vaginal birth (I’ve had both) then maybe but even then… but with an emergency c section surely she can’t be doing headstands two weeks later?

The more I watch, the more I think she used a surrogate!

Ha! Cross posts

She looked very uncomfortable walking in those heels if you ask me. I should imagine she felt immense pressure to 'bounce back'. Poor cow.

I am more irritated by her ‘they asked my husband to choose between my baby and me.’ As my physician DH (in the US) will tell you: that does NOT happen. It did not happen.

I am sure the birth was traumatic but a birth can be traumatic without this kind of detail.

The mother btw is always the patient. You try and save both mother and baby but you try to save the mother first because if you can’t save the mother you probably won’t save the baby (paraphrasing what DH says). He’s never ever watched Selling Sunset so I made him watch this bit. I wish I could have recorded his face and reaction for posterity.

@Garman ohh I might have to head over to Reddit for a read. I’m not usually one for conspiracies but it’s literally blowing my mind

There was a very elaborate and emotive birth story - would she really make that all up???

@LuchiMangsho I thought that too!
Do you think privately the other women have called her on it? Or is the ‘I can’t believe you gave birth…bounced back so fast’ a veiled reveal/dig ?

That phrase has been said SO many times

I thought exactly the same, the yoga thing made me wince, she physically couldn't have done that 2 or 3 weeks after a C-section. It would be impossible and her stitches would have burst open, it made me shudder.
I think the timeline is lied about on the programme. She makes a huge deal of saying "less than two weeks ago I had the baby" etc so often that I think it's a lie. I do think she was pregnant, I don't reckon that was faked.

It might not be policy or good practice, but he can't speak on behalf of all medical professionals- I don't think it's unbelievable that one might have said something similar, albeit embellished for dramatic effect.

I think the timings can be out on filming, but also she seems to put a lot of pressure on herself throughout all of the series to be 'perfect', she probably pushed herself and then got home and took the veneer of being fine off when she got home.

If it was a surrogate- would she really go to all the trouble of the press/pap shots of her in various stages of pregnancy?

@Catfog would totally believe that if she’d had a vaginal delivery but with a c section you have healing time and swelling. She literally has a flat stomach a week after?!

It was a what moment

Was it a week later? Filming can be staged I guess

I’ve just said similar on the other SS thread. I can believe the mess with the timelines of when things are actually filmed, and I can believe she made it sound more dramatic than it was (“I had a c section without an epidural” for example sounds dramatic, but it’s not like she was lying awake with no pain relief, she was under general). But to lie about a traumatic birth and say she and the baby nearly died if actually she wasn’t even pregnant would be quite fucked up.

I think she was pregnant. Its probably the timelines that are faked.

It is possible to bounce back relatively quickly if you've always been very slim and don't eat a lot. Plus she looks like she has quite a long torso so her bump probably never got huge.
I had a very small bump all the way, and snapped back very quickly too.

Plus I also had an emergency c-section and physically recovered from it very quickly. Yes probably not 2 weeks after was I doing headstands. But if she had the baby a couple of weeks before she said she did, perhaps.

The surrogate probably had an emergency c-section. Like those men who claim we are pregnant when it’s the wife who is carrying the baby.

It’s got to be them messing around with the timing/scripting - suggesting the birth rather than a current even rather than much earlier than filming. Dunno. Just know it’s VERY hard to believe they way it’s been portrayed..
Going by my own personal experience with recovery from an emergency section..

There's an Irish instagrammer who had an emergency c-section 3 weeks ago and she's already back in the tight frocks and heels, has been to a Prinark influencer night out thing and another night out with her husband. She looks exactly like she did before pregnancy. And flawless makeup every day. I'm absolutely baffled by it. I had an emergency section 4 years ago and i think i remember walking around the block pushing the buggy after about three weeks but i was still leaking from every orifice and it was still sore getting up and down from the loo/chair. I think these women will regret the rapid 'bouncing back' and wish they had just given their bodies and babies the time that nature intended.

I think if she faked her pregnancy she would’ve tried harder to make her story more believable. I don’t think if you were pretending to have recently given birth (and not arouse suspicion) you would wear short skirts and high heels; do advanced yoga and say thinks like ‘I’m glad I remembered to wear underwear’ at 2 weeks pp.

Whereas if she was actually pregnant she would’ve put more effort into trying to play into the ‘bounce back’ narrative.

So by that reasoning I think she was pregnant, did have the baby and probably killed herself trying to look effortlessly perfect.
