Lauren Goodger is seeking medical help following her daughter LaRose's week-long illness.
The former TOWIE star, 35, has explained to her fans how she initially thought her one-year-old daughter was suffering from chicken pox, but the reality TV star herself has now been struck down with the mystery illness and also feels "so under the weather".
The Essex native confessed she "felt worse this morning that [sic] I have all week", as she indicated to her social media followers she planned to rush herself and baby LaRose to a doctors as soon as possible.
Lauren - who sadly lost her second daughter just minutes after she was born last month - shared the concerned update on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday [August 23] morning, and used the hashtag: #ReallyCouldDoWithoutThis.
The worried mum has suffered multiple tragic ordeals over recent months, most heartbreaking of all watching her second daughter Lorena die in hospital on July 8 - just weeks after she discovered ex-boyfriend Jake McLean had died following a car crash in Turkey.
The former TOWIE star has since explained how doctors battled to save 9lb baby Lorena but she sadly passed away just minutes after she was born.
"They think her oxygen may have been restricted. That is why I am having an autopsy," Lauren explained from her Essex home last month. "I need to understand how she died for my own sanity."
Sadly, Lauren went on to suffer even more tragedy as she bid farewell to her baby daughter, after allegedly being attacked at the funeral and being left with a black eye in the wake of her unimaginable grief.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday morning, Lauren told her followers: "LAROSE PICKED UP SOMETHING LAST WEEK AND I THOUGHT IT WAS CHICKEN POX AND THEN HAND FOOT AND MOUTH AND I ALSO HAVE WHATEVER SHE HAS REALLY BAD NOW [sad emoji].
She continued: "IT'S BEEN A WEEK AND WE BOTH ARE SO UNDER THE WEATHER [sick emoji] I'VE KEPT US DOSED UP BUT I THINK A DOCTOR WE NEED NOW I FEEL WORST THIS MORNING THAT I HAVE ALL WEEK
"#REALLYCOULDDOWITHOUTTHIS."
Lauren recently put on a brave face for eldest daughter Larose's first birthday just weeks after the death of her second child, as she opened up about the traumatic experience of losing her baby just moments after giving birth.
"Lorena was a healthy baby and it was a textbook pregnancy," a grieving Lauren explained to The Sun from her Essex home last month. "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."
Lauren went on to explain that she was having an autopsy to "understand medically" why he baby died for the sake of her "own sanity".
She continued to described the heartbreaking death as the most traumatic experience of her life and reveal other women have been in touch with her since she publicly shared her unimaginable loss.
