Cori Broadus, the beloved daughter of rap legend Snoop Dogg, welcomed her little princess into the world three months before her due date, after revealing that her pregnancy had been deemed "high-risk." On Friday, the founder of CHOC posted on Instagram, accompanied by a tender snapshot of her newborn's tiny foot, "The princess has arrived at just 6 months." She poured out her heart, "I've shed countless tears, comparing and blaming myself for not being able to provide her with everything she needed. Yet, God has always reassured me that He's got me through it all!" Cori added with a grateful heart, "Our baby girl came at 25 weeks, and she's absolutely perfect! Thank you, God, for bringing us this far."
The 25-year-old entrepreneur also disclosed that her precious bundle of joy was being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit, specifically designed for premature infants. Sharing a personal moment, Cori posted a picture of herself undergoing a C-section, captioning it as a "successful" journey.
Further slides in her story unveiled a harrowing tale; she had visited her doctor on Thursday, initially thinking she was suffering from severe gas. Instead, she was diagnosed with "HELLP Syndrome," a potentially fatal pregnancy complication impacting the liver and blood system if left untreated. Cori emphasized that a few more days' delay could have been catastrophic.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, HELLP Syndrome indeed poses significant risks during pregnancy. In December, Cori and her fiancé, Wayne Deuce, joyously announced their unexpected pregnancy after keeping it a secret for three months. "This baby was unplanned, but we feel incredibly blessed," she revealed to E! News. Cori shared that her lupus diagnosis had elevated her pregnancy to high-risk status, leaving doctors deeply concerned for her well-being.
The new mother overflowed with excitement, expressing her desire to shower her daughter with love and make her feel like the most beautiful princess in the world. She also mentioned how thrilled her parents were, especially her dad, Snoop Dogg, who had hoped for a grandson but was overjoyed regardless.
In an exclusive interview with Page Six last month, Cori shared that her parents, Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus, had offered minimal parenting advice, simply encouraging her to "do her best." Wayne Deuce added, "There's no rulebook, and we understand that our parents are human too, with their own imperfections and ongoing journeys. We often forget this when we're young, so we try to embrace that understanding."
