Lauren , recently responding to questions about feeling ‘guilt’ for her baby daughter Larose after revealing she became pregnant just eight weeks after welcoming her into the world.
During an Instagram Q&A on Wednesday morning, she was asked a range of questions about the impending birth, including whether or not she was feeling ‘guilty’ for falling pregnant while her first daughter was still so young.
Dismissing the idea of mum guilt, she insisted Larose will always be her ‘little best friend’ and was now also getting a ‘friend for life’ in her new sibling.
She wrote: ‘I love her soooo much she my girl she always will be my little best friend and she about to get a gift from me a baby sister someone by her side through everything and a friend for life [sic].’
Speaking previously about discovering she was pregnant for a second time, she told : ‘We weren’t very careful and Charlie was really pleased, but being honest I was really in two minds about it.
‘I was like, “I’m just getting myself back together – I’m going back to square one. Is this fair?” You get real mum guilt, like, “What about Larose?”
‘She’s still a baby, she still needs me, I won’t be able to be there for her.’
Lauren added that Charles really wanted the baby too, which prompted her to go ahead with the pregnancy.
‘I’m so glad I did,’ she enthused.
Despite recently splitting up, Lauren and Charles appear to be back together after being photographed hugging and kissing as they took Larose out for the day.
