'I came home with nothing': Heartbroken Lauren Goodger Opened Up Her Newborn Baby's Tragic Death

The 35-year-old Towie star, Lauren Goodger, has spoken out about the tragic death of her newborn baby. Lauren said she has a post-mortem to find the exact cause of death. The Only Way Is Essex star lost a 9lb baby, Lorena after she gave birth earlier this month after doctors fought to save her.

Lorena's cause of death was revealed

Lauren explained that the reason is thought to be that the baby's "oxygen was restricted." The star said, "They think her oxygen may have been restricted," adding, "That is why I have an autopsy. I want to understand how she died for my sanity."

Speaking from her Essex home, the reality TV star told The Sun, "She looked like she was sleeping. I thought she'd wake up." She revealed the post-mortem was being conducted to find out how Lorena died.

Lauren explained she wanted to speak to those who had suffered the same loss. She tragically explained how she "walked in thinking I would come out with a baby girl" but "came home with nothing."

She revealed that the baby had "two knots in her cord," and her oxygen levels were restricted. The star said that the experience had ended up being the "most traumatic of her life."

Lauren's first daughter Larose, whom she shares with Charles Drury, is a healthy baby born with no complications. Her waters broke on July 6, and from that point was advised to stay at home under the watch of midwife Tamzin, who also delivered Larose.

Lauren, whose ex Jake McLean died in a crash at the start of July, released a statement on Instagram. She shared a black and white photo of her holding Lorena's hand alongside a touching caption. Lauren wrote: "She was the most beautiful healthy baby I've ever seen, just like her sister @babylarose.x."

She continued, "Words can't describe, as a mother, losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth to for my angel to be taken from me."

She added, "She was fine and healthy, but I'm not going into detail right now. Just know there was nothing wrong with her or myself; she was perfect. I can't understand it; she is so so beautiful Larose twin so similar."

She concluded, "I am broken. I am back home from hospital Me & Charlie spent as much time with our baby girl Lorena and I haven't said my goodbye yet."
