‘This was followed by throwing up and lower back aches, she continued, adding: ‘I started to get worried as I don’t remember this happening in my last pregnancy… but there were no signs of spotting so I monitored it throughout the day.’
The former Hi-5 star went on: ‘Well at 1.30am yesterday morning, I started having contractions, in my stomach and lower back. It was the same type of contractions I had when I went into labour with Miller.’
Lauren explained that her symptoms continued throughout the morning, prompting her and Barry to organise an urgent trip to the hospital.

‘At that point Miller woke up and started calling for me, so I went into our room and lay with him to settle him. While doing this, all my pain & nausea eased and without knowing – we all managed to fall asleep again,’ she explained.
When she woke up later in the morning, Lauren felt much better but couldn’t shake the feeling that something had gone awry with her pregnancy.
‘I knew something had gone wrong and I was terrified that I had lost our baby,’ she admitted.

Lauren immediately flew to the Gold Coast to visit her obstetrician, who informed her the baby was fine and that her symptoms were caused by a stomach bug.
Reflecting on the health scare, Lauren revealed that she now feels a stronger connection to her unborn son.
‘I also feel so heartbroken for all those who have had a miscarriage, including some of my closest family & friends. I send love to you all. Thank you to the angels for watching out for me & my boys,’ she concluded.
