New York City's Sai de Silva posted several crying emojis. A GoFundMe page has been set up for Lauren's family by her co-workers, which has already raised over $131,000.
The fundraising page said: "This unimaginable loss is impossible to comprehend and the hole that Lauren has left in this world and in her own family, is an impossible one to ever fill.
"We are devastated for her beloved husband, Kevin, who must now unexpectedly take on the sole role of parenting their two children … Emma (3) and newborn Jackson, who is still in the NICU.
"That the day Lauren was so eagerly awaiting should end in tragedy is truly unfathomable." Anyone that knew Lauren was affected by her warm smile, kind heart and thoughtful, intuitive nature.
"She was the kind of person who could comfort you with a just a few words, because she always spoke from the heart. She was sincere, intentional and compassionate.
"But among her greatest qualities was the love she had for her family. It was no secret how close she was to her entire family or how excited she was when she got to start her own.
"From getting engaged to Kevin and then getting married to becoming a mother with Emma and next with Jackson, Lauren beamed whenever she talked about all that she had with her beautiful family."
The post concluded: "The devastating loss of Lauren is far-reaching and we all feel helpless in the wake of the grief. But we can come together now to help take care of the thing Lauren cherish beyond all else: her family."
In an update on Friday, Lauren's co-workers revealed baby Jackson has left the NICU and is at home with his dad Kevin and sister Emma, The Mirror reports.
