The young mother first announced her pregnancy in December 2024. She has been candid about the challenges she faced throughout her pregnancy, especially while managing her own ongoing health concerns.
Cori later shared that she delivered her daughter via C-section after doctors told her she was developing HELLP syndrome, a serious condition that stands for Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelets.
Even during her daughter’s time in the NICU, Cori remained vocal about the strength of NICU mothers, nurses, and her baby’s fight. She showed up as a young mother with honesty and courage, sharing the highs and the grief in real time.
