Lala Kent Shares Baby Girl "Turned Purple" and Was Vomiting After Challenging Birth
View Date:2024-12-23 15:10:53
Lala Kent is opening up about her terrifying birthing experience.
The Vanderpump Rules star shared that her daughter Sosa—who she welcomed earlier this month through a sperm donor—had a traumatic health scare shortly after being delivered.
“The cord was wrapped around her neck a couple of times," Lala explained during the Sept. 18 episode of her Give Them Lala podcast. "She goes out and I go to embrace my baby but she does one cry and then it stops."
And that wasn't the only issue Sosa faced during her first moments in the world. Because the little one was delivered "very fast," she also "swallowed a lot of amniotic fluid," which is the liquid that surrounds and protects a developing fetus in the womb.
“She had so much fluid in her that she was vomiting all the food out," Lala—who is also mom to 4-year-old daughter Ocean with ex Randall Emmett—said before recounting that Sosa's face had "turned purple."
Lala ended up staying an extra day in the hospital, where a specialist came in and helped drain the liquid through her baby's nose.
"They’re like, ‘We want a surgeon to look at her because this isn’t normal,'" the 34-year-old shared. "'We’ve got 10 milliliters of amniotic fluid out of her stomach the first time. Then we got another eight.'"
Recalling that the excess liquid "wouldn't stop," Lala said doctors informed her they were “either going to have pediatric surgery deal with it” or keep her in the NICU.
Luckily, Sosa was ultimately able to leave the hospital without undergoing further medical attention. And since then, Lala noted that her daughter has turned a corner, with the newborn gaining "a pound in one week" since returning home.
And Lala couldn't be happier about the new addition.
"My little dream baby entered the world," she wrote on Instagram Sept. 18. "I am completely in love with her - We all are. Sosa, you have no idea what you have brought into my life."
She added, "I am blessed to call myself your mama."
While we wait for more of baby Sosa, read on for some of Lala’s cutest mom moments with Ocean...
Lala Kent qnd Ocean enjoy a day at Disneyland with Scheana Shay and her daughter Summer Moon.
The pair attend the Summer Spectacular Benefiting the Brent Shapiro Foundation.
Ocean and Summer share a heart-melting hug during a play date.
"To my first love: Oh how you rocked my world and sent me straight to heaven when you made me a mama," Lala wrote on Instagram in March 2024. "I love you so much, my little Pisces princess. Keep making waves. Happy 3rd birthday, angel face. God bless you."
Ocean cuddles with some precious pups.
The pregnant star and her daughter celebrate Mother's Day 2024 in Palm Springs.
Ocean is all smiles with the wind in her hair.
"I’ve been sober for 5 years today," Lala wrote on social media in October 2023. "On this day I replay my rock bottom moment. All the details of what happened on this day. Waking up, admitting I was powerless, and for the first time in many years seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m so grateful for this day"
"I will continue to work hard for my sobriety, & take a moment of silence for the alcoholic who still suffers," she added. "I see you- I love you. Thank you, God. Happy birthday to me!"
Lala shared an adorable snapshot of Ocean and a furry friend.
The two enjoy a tropibal beach vacation.
Could Ocean look any cuter in her tiara?
"I read on a sign coming in that Aloha is a lifestyle, & it is," the Give Them Lala podcast host posted during a December 2023 vacation. "Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful island. It revived us all. We are so grateful."
Scheana and Lala pose with their mini-me's.
Ocean practices her surfing skills on the beach.
"Thank you for bringing me into this world, mama," Lala wrote on Instagram. "Thank you for making me a mama, Ocean. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone taking on the role of a 'mom'. I see you. It’s not easy, but we got this handled. Today belongs to us."
The mother-daughter duos hit up the Natural History Museum.
The duo share an adorable smooch.
A little 'Ocean goes to Newport' carousel," Lala shared in Summer 2023. "Made my heart so full watching O play where I used to play at her age. Newport holds a special place in my heart. My dad would have us set up on this beach at 7 am & we’d stay until the sun went down. Ocean is making him proud. A beach bum just like her Poppy."
Lala and Ocean cool off in the summer heat.
Scheana, Summer, Brock Davies, Lala and Ocean reunite with Vanderpump Rules alums Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, with their son Cruz at the premiere of Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge in L.A.
