Selling Sunset's Heather shares meaningful name for baby boy
It's her first child with husband Tarek El Moussa
Following his birth on Tuesday 31st January, Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa and her husband Tarek El Moussa have confirmed the name they've chosen for their newborn baby boy.
Heather, who announced his birth with fans on Friday 3rd February, revealed her son is called Tristan Jay El Moussa, the name that Tarek was supposed to have.
Sharing cute snaps of baby Tristan, Heather wrote: 'We’d like to introduce Tristan Jay El Moussa to the world 🤍 6:55am 1-31-23 7lbs 7oz
'Tristan was the name that Tarek was supposed to have, Jay is my dads middle name & 4 generations of Jay'.
Heather went on to reveal some scary moments just before Tristan's birth, explaining: 'But before our angel was born we had some scary moments leading up to him entering the world.
'We were at my final doctor appointment and our Dr. rushed us to the hospital to get monitored because Tristan‘s movements had slowed down. I was 4 days past his due date.
'Here is a little fast version of the birth story:
'I had scar tissue built up from a biopsy I had years ago, which affected my cervix softening & water breaking. Once at the hospital I was given 1/2 a pill of Cytotec to soften cervix, balloon went in. 2 hours later I was dilated to a 4. Balloon fell out, then 3 hours later dialated to a 6, then a few minutes an 8 then 15 minutes later my water broke! It was time to push!! it all happened really fast. Tristan’s heart rate was dropping very low every time I’d push & was staying low. Which was terrifying.
'My doctor told me that we had to get him out right away. I had 4 more pushes and to give it my all & she was going to use a vacuum to help get him out fast or otherwise we would have to do an emergency C-section. Tarek was on my right holding my hand talking me through everything. I pushed so hard all the blood vessels broke in my face and chest. Tarek yelled I see his head, push push push. Our baby boy came out healthy and beautiful, I was in a state of shock it was a surreal experience. I was emotional and drained & so in love already.
I't was scary, but beautiful & I had the best support from Tarek, my incredible @drlisakaramardian and all the nurses at Hoag.
'We have been in our own private bubble but today we are so happy to share Tristan and some of our our birth story with the world 🤍🤍'. (sic)
