Selma Blair Opens Up About Birth

Selma Blair has opened up about her son's difficult birth while paying a birthday tribute to the eight-year-old.

The actress took to Instagram to confess her emotions over the fact Arthur is spending his birthday with his dad, and also shared the story of her labour.

The traumatic birth experience lasted 37 hours after she was induced, but like most mums, Selma believes the pain was all worth it.

In a lengthy post, she explained: "I slept two hours. There is a pain. In my head. In my throat where the tears start. I want to smell him. Tell him I am so proud of him. Hold him. And I will. Just not on his birthday. Which is today. It was a painful induced labor. He was weeks late according to doctors. I felt fine. He wouldn't listen. And there was still fluid. But I was pressured and agreed.

"Defeated. The inducing was horrific and no dilation. Full labor with no dilation. for 37 hours. I finally asked for an epidural. I was so at their mercy. And I had to protect him. I was scared of motherhood. My friend @juliedesanto , his godmother , drove two hours to be by my side. To hold my stricken face. To tell me I will be a good enough mother. Good enough. And I started to relax.

"He was born at 1021 this morning. July 25. I even had to fire a doctor who said I needed a c section. And got my beloved dr paul crane back in town to easily deliver our boy. Jason cut the cord and said he looked like me.

"And now my kid can cut his moms hair and make jokes and assure me just by being him that I am good enough."
