<p>'This is Us' star Mandy Moore is going to be a mum for the second time this August. Moore, who is expecting her second child with husband Taylor Goldsmith, recently revealed that she is suffering from a rare&nbsp;blood disease due to which she will have to give an unmedicated birth without epidural.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The blood disorder is called immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and prevents her from taking an epidural or pain relief during the delivery of the baby.&nbsp;</p>

During her exclusive interview with Today, the actress opened up&nbsp;about her blood disorder and said, “My platelets are too low for an epidural.”&nbsp;<br />

Mandy, who also had an unmedicated birth with her first child Gus, recalled that “It was awful''. Before adding, ''But I can do it one more time. I can climb that mountain again.”&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Moore further said, “I wish medication was an option — just the idea of it being on the table is so nice. But we’ll just push forth like we did last time.”</p>

<br />
She also shared an update for all her fans on her Instagram, "I am fine. I just have to continue to get my blood checked — my platelet levels checked — throughout pregnancy. They're low, but they've always been low," Moore said, before adding,&nbsp;"But I'm all good. Everything's good."<br />
<br />
<strong>What is immune thrombocytopenic purpura?</strong><br />
<br />
According to Mayo Clinic, this rare blood disease can lead to heavy bleeding, which results in a low level of platelets - the cells found in the blood, whose function is to prevent bleeding at the injury site.<br />
<br />
<strong>Why epidural&nbsp;can't be given to pregnant women?</strong><br />
<br />
The anaesthesia is given to a mother during childbirth to low down the labour pain. The medicine is injected into the epidural area at the back&nbsp;around the spinal cord. So, if the platelets are low then giving an epidural can cause a major injury to the spinal cord, as per Today.&nbsp;</p>
