Eight weeks after giving birth to her baby girl, Larose, The Only Way Is Essex(TOWIE) star Lauren Goodger fell pregnant with her second child.

Sharing the news on her socials with her 840,000+ followers, Goodger shared her entire pregnancy journey online, just like she had done with baby Larose.

"The news is out! I am having baby number two and it's another girl!! I'm so excited Larose will have a little sister," she said via Instagram.

" My body has changed so much and grown and carried both my pregnancies now for two years back to back… it's not been easy mentally or physically but I am so proud of it. What a beautiful magical thing a mother's body can do. I've had my down moments when nothing fits and I think my boobs are a mess. I am still breastfeeding Larose currently but I wouldn't change any of it. I'm proud of my baby girl – this body grown and nurtured my perfect baby girl. Not long now until my other little princess will be here... not saying it's been easy, but it's been god damn worth it."

Pregnancy was challenging for Goodger, but nothing out of the ordinary or to be concerned about.

She had planned to have her second child in a "natural home birth" as she did with her first child, even hiring a doula to help out. Her first labour was around seven hours long, so Goodger expected things to run smoothly.

Just before giving birth to her second child, Goodger wrote on Instagram that she was overwhelmed but looking forward to the new arrival alongside her partner Charles Drury.

"I'm waiting now for this baby girl to arrive, which I will shower with love, kindness strength and all my time and affection. I don't want to be anywhere else apart from with my baby girls. I've cried a lot tonight. I've spent every minute with Larose as it's not going to be just me and her anymore but it's another new chapter of my life," she wrote.

"I feel scared, excited, nervous – all thoughts going around my head but I can't wait to have my baby girl in my arms I've waited so long for her to arrive."

But sadly a week later, Goodger lost her baby minutes after she was born.

Naming their second child Lorena, Goodger said she and her partner were in complete shock, and couldn't believe what had happened.

Ten doctors worked tirelessly to save Lorena, but it was unsuccessful.

"There was no pregnancy or labour complications and she was fine and healthy. There was nothing wrong with her or myself, she was perfect – I can't understand it," she wrote after just coming back home from hospital.

"The day I gave birth, I breastfed Larose and it started my contractions. [My doula] came but she could not feel her heartbeat – so she called an ambulance."
