Selling Sunset star Maya Vander has spoken publicly about the stillbirth of her third child, revealing it was due to a 'freak accident'. The 40-year-old real estate agent lost her baby in December last year at 38 weeks pregnant.
During the Selling Sunset: The Reunion, Vander told host Tan France: 'I was 38 weeks and apparently it was a freak accident. We got the autopsy report about a month ago. It was just a bad accident with the cord, mixed with some swallowed placenta.'
Vander, who has been on the Netflix show since its inception, initially shared the news on Instagram in December. She posted a photo of baby clothes, writing: 'Yesterday was the hardest day of my life. I had a still birth at 38 weeks... Instead of delivering a baby, I get to go home with a memory box.'
In the reunion episode, Vander said she was doing 'much better' after four and a half months, adding that time helps. She credited her husband and two children for keeping her going, and expressed hope to become pregnant again. 'That void is still there and I think part of my healing is getting pregnant again,' she said.
