After being rushed to hospital in an ambulance, Lauren was taken into a private room where doctors said Lorena had a low heart rate.
"Ten doctors started working on her,” the former The Only Way is Essex star told The Sun. “They were doing chest compressions and giving her adrenaline."
Lauren went on to explain that her partner Charles – with whom she shares her one-year-old daughter Larose – was ‘in pieces’ and Lauren was ‘in shock'.

She said: “Charlie was in pieces, he was screaming, ‘Please save my baby.’"
After the medical staff informed Lauren that her baby had died, she was left unable to move in her ‘bloodied sheets for four hours’."
She added: “I thought they’d found a heartbeat but they told me they hadn’t. I am not sure why they said she had one, maybe it was just a movement or from the adrenaline.”

Lauren is now awaiting the results from her daughter’s autopsy to understand why she passed away.
Sharing a black and white photo of her holding Lorena’s hand, she wrote: “She was the most beautiful healthy baby I’ve ever seen just like her sister @babylarose.x … words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth too for my angel to be taken from me.”
She continued: “She was fine & healthy but I am not going into detail right now just know that 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.
“I am broken."
