Jamie Lynn, younger sister of pop singer Britney Spears, was in danger of losing her baby in the delivery room when she gave birth recently.
Contactmusic.com reports that a tabloid newspaper reported that doctors had to perform a caesarean on 17-year-old Lynn when they realised that she and the baby girl could have bled to death. She was diagnosed with marginal placenta previa, which could have been fatal since a part of the placenta extends to the mother's cervix.
An insider said: "Jamie Lynn was sick with worry. It was a lot for a 17-year-old to handle."
