  • Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther: Pregnant Woman Who Mysteriously Disappeared Before C-Section, Found Monday, Has Lost Baby

    The Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther mystery continues to deepen. The 49-year-old pregnant woman from North Carolina disappeared last week, about an hour before she was scheduled to check into a hospital for a scheduled C-section. Found alive on Monday, word has now emerged that she lost her baby.

    Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther apparently left on her own. No foul play was involved in her disappearance. So why did this woman take off prior to her scheduled C-section? An undisclosed medical condition made it necessary for her to have one. Not doing so could have cost both her life and her baby’s.

    Bradshaw-Crowther’s brother, Drew Bradshaw, spoke with WSOC TV in North Carolina on Tuesday. It was during his interview that the media learned Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther’s unborn child died.

    “Carrie is presently hospitalized and is receiving much needed medical care, while it is unfortunate we no longer expect a new addition to our family and ask for your continued prayers,” he said.

    When asked what happened to Bradshaw-Crowther’s baby, Drew Bradshaw remained mum.

    In a statement on his Facebook page he posted, “We feel that releasing any more information should be in Carrie’s discretion after she has the opportunity to heal.”

    Speculation is now running rampant, as people wonder what happened to Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther’s unborn baby.

    Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther is recovering in a North Carolina hospital.

  • Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther: 49-Year-Old Pregnant Woman Vanished Hour Before Scheduled C-Section, Found Monday

    Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther was ready to leave for her scheduled C-section In North Carolina last Tuesday. Her daughter Lauren Lusk left her to get gas before driving her mom to the hospital. When she returned from the gas station, the 49-year old pregnant woman was gone.

    “When I got back, she was gone. The lights in the house were off, the door was unlocked,” she said.

    Lusk, who is 26, told NBC News she spent the weekend with her mother, helping her prepare for the impending birth.

    Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther’s car was gone. Lauren Lusk checked local hospitals, just in case her mother decided she couldn’t make the 40 minute drive to Charlotte, where she was scheduled to undergo the C-section.

    The pregnancy was high risk, and Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther’s medical condition mandated the baby be born via a C-section instead of a vaginal birth.

    “She seemed nervous obviously, but more towards the end of the pregnancy, she started getting happier about it. The last few weeks, she was really excited,” Lauren Lusk said.

    When she left for the gas station Tuesday morning, Carrie Bradshaw-Browther was still wearing her pajamas. She had curlers in her hair. Her makeup and purse were in the house after she vanished, but both her wallet and cellphone were missing.

    “It’s not like her,” Lusk said. “She likes to keep up her appearance.”

    Nearly a week passed since Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther went missing. On Monday she was located in Boone, North Carolina–about 80 miles away from her home. She apparently left of her own free will and is said to be in good condition.

    “I am Carrie,” she reportedly said when the county police pulled up along side her van, according to Watauga County police.

    Police were taking Carrie Bradshaw-Crowther to a nearby medical facility for an evaluation.

    What do you suppose made this 49-year-old pregnant woman leave just an hour prior to her scheduled C-section?

    It certainly sounds as though there are some emotional–if not mental–issues at play.

    Fortunately for all involved, she was found safely and is in good condition. Her family members likely feared a much worse ending to this bizarre scenario.

  • Kristen Bell’s C-Section Traumatizes Husband Dax Shepard

    Three weeks ago, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard welcomed their second child, Delta Bell Shepard. Bell gave birth to Delta via C-Section, and Shepard was not prepared for it. In the January 15 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Shepard recounted Bell’s 33-hour long labor as well as the operation that followed. When asked about whether Bell’s pregnancy was easier the second time around, Shepard responded, “It was not, Ellen. Kristen, god bless her, was in labor for 33 hours. It was intense.”

    According to Shepard, Bell received an epidural during the 14th hour of her labor. “She got an epidural at like hour 14… and I think dads need something. I deserved something. Because I was along for the ride. It’s still a car crash and I’m in the passenger seat. I’m playing Katy Perry, and I’m breathing, and I’m rubbing her back, and I have fatigue, and I think, ‘I need something for this. Help me.’” However, at the last minute, it was decided that the baby had to be delivered via C-Section. Shepard admitted that he was not prepared for what he would see during the procedure.

    Shepard joked, “So, there’s a sheet and then they go, ‘The baby’s here!’ And then you peak around the sheet and they’re lifting out the baby, but then you notice your wife is completely disassembled. I can see inside of her. I was like, ‘It’s a girl! Your liver’s out, I think. And then those are definitely your intestines.’”

    During the interview, Shepard also talked about how he and Bell came up with the name for their second child. “Our first daughter’s name is Lincoln, which is very masculine,” he recalled. “So, a friend of mine teasingly texted me, ‘Oh, great, what’s this [next name] going to be? Navy SEAL? Delta Force? Green Beret?’ And I was reading this text out loud to Kristen. I’m like, ‘This is so funny. Steve said, ‘What if we named her Delta Force?’ And [Bell] was like, ‘Delta! Delta Bell Shepard! That’s it!’ And that’s it.”

  • Kendra Wilkinson Gives Birth to Baby Girl

    Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are the proud parents of a new baby girl. Kendra gave birth on Friday via C-section at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Their new bundle of joy has a big brother, too. Hank IV is four years old and will no doubt be thrilled when his baby sister arrives home.

    “I feel great and I am so happy,” Baskett told Us Weekly. He is excited that their baby is “healthy with all 10 fingers and all 10 toes,” he added, and he also shared that Kendra Wilkinson “is great and did an amazing job.”

    Kendra tweeted a message to her followers late Thursday night in anticipation of going to the hospital on Friday. A bit earlier that same day Hank Baskett received a tweet from someone sharing a funny (depending, of course, upon who was reading it) birthing joke and the sender suggested he probably better not share it with Kendra.

    It was back in October that Hank Baskett shared the news that he and Kendra were expecting a second child. In November Kendra dished about her pregnancy cravings at the Hollywood premiere of Frozen.

    “The stereotypical pickle flavors and deviled eggs and potato salad,” she said. “I’ve been more on the vegetarian side during pregnancy so far. So meat and chicken is not something I want. It’s all fresh salads and anything lemon.”

    At that time the former Girls Next Door star hinted that she was trying not to gain as much weight as she did when she was pregnant with Hank.

    “I got it by the balls! I have full control now,” she quipped to Us. “First time around I’m like, ‘I’m a skinny person, I’m going to get back right away.’ Oh no. I learned a lot from my first one. I’m working out everyday; doing anything I can to control this this time around.”

    Whether Kendra achieved that goal or not is uncertain. What is certain is that Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are the proud parents of a healthy new member of their family and that trumps everything else. Congratulations to all three of them as they welcome the baby girl–who thus far remains unnamed–home in the coming days.
