Hilary Duff opens up about 'easy' delivery
New mom Hilary Duff has opened up about her surprisingly "easy" delivery, joking her whole family came to the hospital with snacks and soda in hand to watch the "show".
The singer/actress welcomed her first child, a son named Luca Cruz, with hockey star husband Mike Comrie on 20 March (12) and Duff admits her journey to becoming a mother has been an "amazing ride".
In an interview on U.S. TV program The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she
said, "It (the birthing process) was very easy. I went into labour
at about one in the morning and I very calmly had my bags packed
and woke my husband up after about three hours of walking up and
down my hallway. Then I'm like, 'OK, it's time to go. Let's go
now.' We got in the car and drove to the hospital and that was
it."
But the former Lizzy McGuire star didn't give birth straight away -
and after nine hours in hospital, her relatives began to grow
restless.
She continues, "My family gets there and we wait all day and
everyone is hungry. We're Southern and from Texas and my mom and my
sister (actress/singer Haylie Duff) actually went down to the food
court area.
"All of the sudden the doors bust open and my sister and my mom
come flying in. They're like, 'We got barbecue chips and root beer,
guys.' I (said), 'What? I'm pushing!' They were just arriving for a
show with their chips and their root beer."
The interview aired in America on Friday (11May12), two days before
Duff celebrates her first Mother's Day on Sunday (13May12).
