Mandy Moore will have to \u201cpush forth\u201d without an epidural while giving birth to her second child due to an autoimmune disorder. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy platelets are too low for an epidural,\u201d the actress, 38, told TODAY Parents on Friday, revealing that she suffers from immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). <\/p>\n
Moore \u2013 who also gave birth to her 17-month-old son, Gus, without an epidural \u2013 described her first labor as \u201cawful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I can do it one more time. I can climb that mountain again,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI wish medication was an option \u2014 just the idea of \u200b\u200bit being on the table is so nice. But we’ll just push forth like we did last time.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the Mayo Clinic, ITP occurs when the immune system \u201cattacks and destroys platelets.\u201d If not taken seriously during pregnancy, it could lead to a \u201cgreater risk of heavy bleeding during delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n
