Serena and her husband, Juan Mancera, 27, had stopped the store before heading to the beach with their family, including their three children. Serena had placenta previa, a condition where the placenta blocks the cervix, causing risky bleeding.(Instagram/@juanandserena) While Juan was checking out at the reger, Serena went to the restroom, only to notice blood running down her leg.
