According to ABC News, Lauren became pregnant with Freya in 2014. At 28 weeks, she began to show signs of preeclampsia. At the end of November 2014, the doctor informed her that the baby's heart rate was decreasing and she needed to deliver immediately. Two days later, Freya was born by cesarean section. The baby weighed only 1.9 kg and had to be kept in the intensive care unit.

Freya’s frail condition did not stop her strong vitality. Five days after giving birth, Lauren was amazed to see her daughter smiling brightly. She immediately took a picture and sent it to her husband.

Freya will celebrate her second birthday in November. Lauren decided to post a beautiful photo of her daughter on social media to encourage other parents in the same situation. "They are not alone," the young mother said. The photo has received nearly 300,000 likes, more than 40,000 shares and countless comments. OneA woman named Jackie Penny proudly shares:"My son was born 9 weeks early, weighing only 2.1 kg. Next May he will graduate from medical school and become a doctor."
