Mandy Moore discusses having an unmedicated second pregnancy because of a rare blood disorder
The This Is Us actress revealed to TODAY Parents that she did not get an epidural during her first pregnancy because of an autoimmune condition called immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
“My platelets are too low for an epidural,” said the mother of 17-month-old son.
She continued, “It was awful. But I can do it one more time. I can climb that mountain again.”
Independent cited National Health Service report and mentioned, “Those that suffer from ITP have shortage of platelets. Having low platelets does not make you feel any different and most sufferers have no symptoms at all.”
In June, the actress shared that she and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, were set to become parents again.
“I wish medication was an option – just the idea of it being on the table is so nice. But we’ll just push forth like we did last time,” she added.
