Lawrence’s Fears For Baby Daughter

Actor JOEY LAWRENCE was terrified for his baby daughter after her birth - because the tot was delivered prematurely and spent five days in an intensive care unit.

Lawrence and his wife Chandi Yawn-Nelson became parents to Liberty Grace on 4 March (10) after a difficult pregnancy which saw the mum-to-be diagnosed with a rare blood disease, which can often cause babies to be stillborn.

The couple was relieved when the tot was delivered safely, but they faced an anxious wait after doctors spent nearly a week assessing their daughter before she was allowed to go home.

Lawrence tells Life & Style magazine. “We wanted to get Libby out so bad. They handed Libby to me first, even before they cleaned her off. I held her for a second and then they took her from me and locked her in a tube (intensive care unit).”

The couple also has a three-year-old daughter named Charli.
