Lauren, 35, gushed over how much she loved her daughter, who passed away minutes after she was born last month.
“I carried you, I felt you grow,” the reality TV star posted to her stories alongside butterfly, angel and pregnancy emojis.
“Longed for the day we’d meet. Dreamed of your future. Not only did I know you, I fell in love with you.”
It comes after Lauren opened up about how her “perfect” daughter Lorena passed away after birth in a tragic turn of events.

Opening up in a heartbreaking chat with New magazine, she explained that she still “has a bit of a bump” which has sometimes tricked into thinking her baby girl is “still there”.
“I’ve still got a bit of a bump, this one’s not shifting,” she explained of her recovering body after the traumatic birth of baby Lorena.
“It sometimes feels like she’s still there, it’s weird. My body feels like it’s unsettled, like it’s missing a newborn.”

Elsewhere, Lauren revealed how her umbilical cord is thought to have been knotted twice in a “rare” turn of events.
Knots in the cord can restrict blood flow and oxygen to the baby, and put them at risk of serious harm or in severe cases, stillbirth.
Lauren continued: “No one knew about the knots in the cord, all we’ve been told is that it’s very uncommon to have two knots.
“I was a low-risk pregnancy. There was no sign of any problems. A few hours before she was born, she was going to be absolutely fine, that’s what is so heartbreaking.”
Last week, Lauren put on a brave face as she celebrated her daughter Larose’s first birthday – posing for snaps with her little girl.
