Shamea Morton shares her newborn's health journey
Shamea and her husband, Gerald Mwangi, welcomed Shiloh back in February — about three months after announcing they were expecting a second child. Shortly after the arrival, Shamea took to Instagram to provide a heartbreaking update on the newborn, which was born on Valentine's Day via surrogacy.
“She weighed 6 lbs 8 ounces and she was 18.5 inches. She was a nice size preemie!” Shamea wrote. “She def didn’t miss a meal. I cut the umbilical cord and we got a faint cry so we thought everything was fine. Moments later she began to struggle to breathe. The doctors immediately began to work on her but she eventually had to be put on 100% oxygen. I’ve been a mess, heart palpitations, anxiety etc… but Shiloh is a fighter.”
Shamea Morton and Kandi Burruss shared the same surrogate
At the time of Shiloh's birth announcement, Shamea provided a positive update on her surrogate, Shadina Blunt, who also carried Kandi and Todd Tucker’s youngest child, Blaze Tucker. Kandi reflected on her and Shamea’s bond in a Nov. 30 Instagram post, just weeks after Shamea confirmed the pregnancy.
“My girl [Shamea Morton and] I share a bond nobody can break! We got a lot to celebrate. [Porsha] just got married [and] Shamea has a baby on the way via surrogate!” Kandi wrote. “[Shadina Blunt] is carrying [Shamea’s] bundle of joy [and] we’re all excited! Blessings on blessings on blessings!”
