English comedian Chris Ramsey and his wife Rosie recently revealed their tragic miscarriage and the impact it had on their lives.
Rosie was 12 weeks pregnant and ecstatic to become a mum for the second time. Their baby would have been a younger sibling to their son Robin.
The mum could not wait to share her news with everyone, hinting at some upcoming excitement on her Instagram.
Unfortunately, Chris and Rosie experienced what 1 in 4 couples endure, a miscarriage.
They felt the world crumble around them when they went in for a scan and heard the news, listening for that tiny heartbeat that never came.
Rosie opened up in her social media post, describing the heartbreak her and her family experienced.
“He or she had passed early on in the pregnancy leaving behind the pregnancy sac, this is called a Blighted Ovum. (missed miscarriage)”
“It all came as a great shock.” The mum explained that her body was still mimicking the effects of pregnancy, so they were completely blind sided when they heard the news.
Her situation worsened as doctors told her that she must still give birth to the pregnancy sac.
“It was awful. Cramping, vomiting, fainting, fever, really just not nice. After 5 rounds of tablets over a course of 20 or so hours the doctors told me it hadn’t worked as effectively as they’d hoped.”
She was forced to undergo surgery unexpectedly. And now, in the traumatic experience’s wake, the mum is ready to reflect on and process her loss.
“I know it is going to take time to come to terms with all of this, I feel emotionally and physically exhausted.”
She hopes that sharing this tragedy will not only help her but help other couples who have gone through similar situations.
“I have so much sympathy for other couples who have/are going through this as I never knew it entailed so much heartache,” Rosie continued.
“I need to hear from other women this has happened to, it needs to be talked about in order to heal. [...] People can’t go through this experience in silence or alone, it’s just too painful."
The Celebrity Juice star re-posted his wife’s message, calling her a “warrior”.
We offer Chris and Rosie our condolences and hope that other mums will reach out to her as well.
