Lauren Goodger "needs to understand" why her baby daughter died.
Lauren Goodger opens up about losing her newborn daughter
The 35-year-old reality star was left heartbroken when newborn daughter Lorena died just two days after her birth on July 8 following a "textbook pregnancy" and is having an autopsy carried out for her "own sanity."
She said: "I went into hospital thinking I would come home with a baby girl but I came home with nothing. Lorena was a healthy baby and it was a textbook pregnancy. They think her oxygen may have been restricted because she had two knots in her cord but normally babies can still get enough oxygen despite this. This is why I am having an autopsy. I need to understand medically how she died for my own sanity."
The former 'TOWIE' star - who is also mum to Larose, twelve months, with partner Charles Drury, 24, - added that the tragedy has been the "most traumatic" event of her life and is speaking out because she wants to help other parents who are going through the same sort of thing.
She told The Sun newspaper: "This has been the most traumatic experience of my life. Since Lorena passed away, I have had so many messages from other women who have gone through this too. I want to talk about her death to help other parents out there going through this. I want them to know they aren’t alone.
"Each day I take it as it comes. Without Larose I would not be here. She is getting me through every day. I’ve been inundated with messages from people. There have been people in the public eye who have messaged me privately, people I know who wouldn’t have said hello to me if I saw them."
