New mother Billie Piper may have to spend another seven days in hospital, her husband said. The actress, 26, gave birth to a son by emergency Caesarean at 1am yesterday (Tuesday) after a 26-hour labour.
Her husband, actor Laurence Fox, said the mother and baby were "good". But speaking outside the private Portland Hospital in central London today, he added: "She had a Caesarean. It was quite a major thing wasn't it." He said doctors told the couple she might not be ready to go home for "five days to a week".
The couple named their newborn son, weighing 6lb 11oz, Winston James Fox. Laurence said: "It's a good name, isn't it?" Billie's agent declined to say why the couple decided on the name, which means "joyful stone". Visibly tired as he left the hospital to smoke, Laurence said he hadn't changed his jeans and jumper for three days.
He said he hoped to find out more about when his wife and newborn son would be able to return home later in the day.
