Lauren Lane gets emotional about ‘solo’ parenting

Pregnancy is an emotional time for many women, and Lauren Lane is no exception. She recently opened up about a complication in her pregnancy that is scary, but common. As we previously reported, the baby’s “umbilical cord is attached to the edge of the placenta” instead of the middle.

Over the weekend, Lane took to her Instagram Stories to share how she’s feeling lately.

She posted a snap of her “loves in one photo.” The photo shows both her growing baby bump and her one-year-old son on the floor, grabbing onto her knees.

“It’s always incredibly hard solo parenting and doing it every week for days on end,” she admitted.

She further wrote that she is “praying everything is okay with this baby.”

The Bachelor alum also hopes Dutton “walks soon.” Why? Her “25 lb side kick” wants to be held all the time.

Lauren Lane also assured nervous followers that she wasn’t naked in the photo, despite her bare bump. “I have a swimsuit on.,” Lane assured fans. “Don’t panic.”
