LB: She was taking medication before and during pregnancy.
Seidlin: Were you concerned about that?
LB: I was very concerned about that?
Seidlin: Why?
LB: Because we already had one miscarriage, and every time she put something in her mouth….I thought that…….if…….
Seidlin: It would affect…..
LB: Yes, sir….
Seidlin: ……the welfare of the child.
LB: And her too, as well. And so we had a couple clashes in the hospital room, because she and Mr. Stern brought in a duffel bag and when there wasn’t enough administered through the drips that she was on, they would take it out of the bag and take it on top of the drugs that they were giving at the hospital, and thwarting the efforts by the hospital to get her off the medications.
Anna Nicole's Former Boyfriend Speaks Out September 20, 2006
Excerpt:
"The reason I was told she went to the Bahamas was if a baby is born [there] and the mother is a resident, it would be harder for a father who wanted to participate in a baby's life to be able to do so."
It was, of course, in the Bahamas where Anna Nicole's son, DANIEL, died at her bedside. During his time with Anna Nicole, Larry got to know her son, who he says appeared to be a healthy young man.
"He was a great kid," he says. "Never any problems, always fun to be around. We always joked and teased each other and I always found him to be really intelligent. He had a great sense of humor." But, he adds, "I'm not trying to be insensitive about her loss, unfortunately, I can't change the fact that Daniel died, but there's a life there you have to worry about, too."
Birkhead says he worries most when he reads reports of Anna Nicole's heavy sedation and memory loss.
"If you're hearing crazy things like memory loss, that right there signals to me that there is a need for the father more than ever," he says. "You just have to hope and pray that someone responsible is taking care of the baby."
Birkhead blames the people around Anna Nicole for keeping him out of the picture. And now he says he's ready to exert his parental rights.
