When it comes time to welcome baby number two in October, Mandy Moore won’t be asking for an epidural.star will have an unmedicated birth due to a rare autoimmune disorder known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura . According to, ITP is a blood disorder characterized by a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells in the blood that help stop bleeding, and a decrease in platelets can cause easy bruising, bleeding gums and internal bleeding.
In Moore’s case, her regularly low platelet count means placing an epidural could cause injury around the spinal cord.

But we’ll just push forth like we did last time.”
On July 28, Moore shared an ITP update with her followers on Instagram. “I am fine. I just have to continue to get my blood checked—my platelet levels checked—throughout pregnancy. They’re low, but they’ve always been low,” Moore explained in her Instagram story. “But I’m all good. Everything’s good.”
The beloved actress and singer first announced that she and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, were expecting their second baby boy on June 3. The couple revealed the news on Instagram with a sweet picture of their one-year-old son August wearing a“One incredibly seminal chapter of my life just ended, and the next one, as a mother of two, is about to start…and are we ever so deeply grateful and excited,” Moore shared in the caption.
