TOWIE's Lauren Goodger shares heartbreaking reason her baby daughter died just after she was born

The Only Way is Essex's Lauren Goodger has revealed the reason why her baby daughter, Lorena, passed away just after her birth. The 35-year-old, who gave birth to her second daughter with partner Charles Drury, 24, on Friday, July 8, announced the devastating news of her baby's passing two days later.

Reality TV star Lauren has now opened up about her ordeal with The Sun. She told the publication: “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."

Lauren added that her daughter "looked like she was sleeping" and that she "thought she would wake up". In the heartbreaking statement, she said that although doctors tried to save Lorena, they were unable to do so and her daughter died minutes after being born. She confirmed that "this has been the most traumatic experience" of her life. Lauren also talked about how she will be having an autopsy to determine how Lorena died.
