Unbeknownst to her fans, Tori spent 10 weeks in hospital and four months on bed rest after being diagnosed with a condition called placenta previa which is where the placenta covers the cervix causing huge internal bleeding.
"I just remember thinking, I can't leave three children behind," Tori shared referencing her older children with husband Dean McDermott; Liam, 5, Stella, 4, and one-year-old Hattie.
Tori conceived Finn just a month after giving birth to Hattie and having had three C-sections in the past, which was part of what caused her medical issues.
