It is a condition where a knot forms in the baby’s umbilical cord. Loren was on magnesium drips and Shai was in the NICU. Loren and Aleksei did not make it to the intensive care unit due to the current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Loren could not see her child for a whole day after the birth. However, things became more serious during and after her second pregnancy.

All of Loren’s births had been dangerous so far. She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and put on two weeks of bed rest when she had contractions at 32 weeks pregnant. Having three babies in a row in three years is a daunting task, and that too when three C-sections in three years, had taken a toll on Loren’s body.

Loren is ready to become a mother again.

She quit her job after having her second child because her employer was not very supportive. When Asher got out of the NICU, Loren’s office staff did not wear masks in the workplace even during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“After much consideration, we agreed that it is best for me to focus on our family for the time being.”
