'We had to opt for a C-section because Bastian's heart rate was dropping with every contraction,' she wrote at the time.
She went on to explain Bastian, now two, had a knot in his umbilical cord that was causing the problems with his heart rate.
'It wasn't until they pulled him out and realised there was a "true knot" in his umbilical cord that was causing it,' she added.
'The contractions were cutting off his oxygen [because] of the knot!'
In May 2022, Laurina told the Herald Sun she had started to believe having a baby wasn't 'in my cards'.
She confessed she considered not going through with her pregnancy after wondering if she'd 'ever be responsible enough' to raise a child.
'I was with James when I was going to freeze my eggs and I didn't react well to the hormones so I gave up and thought I'd struggle to have a baby,' she said.
The Melbourne native is the founder of Beauty Aqua, a drinks brand that sells sparkling water infused with vitamins, electrolytes and amino acids.

'I borrowed all my mum's money for [the business],' she explained.
'I thought, "How am I going to lift boxes and do all that when I'm pregnant?"'

In 2018, Laurina made a brief return to TV on the first season of Bachelor In Paradise.
She entered the Fiji-based reality show in episode two, but decided to quit five episodes later after failing to spark romance with any of the contestants.
While she still boasts more than 50,000 social media followers, the former reality TV personality now lives a family focussed life largely away from the spotlight.
