Frankie Bridge reveals guilt with having kids while her sister suffers miscarriages

Frankie Bridge has spoken out about how she feels guilt over the fact that she is a mum while her sister Tor is struggling with fertility issues.

The former Saturdays singer appeared on This Morning alongside her sister Victoria (known as Tor) who was talking about her struggle to conceive.

Tor has had three miscarriages and opened up about her loss on Instagram - a post that was praised by sister Frankie. 

Frankie revealed that she is unsure what to say to support her sister as she is mum to two boys - five-year-old Parker and three-year-old Carter.

She said, ''It's been difficult to know what the right thing is to say wrongly or rightly because I do have two kids, I don't want to be quite blasé about it.''

She continued, ''But I know Tor doesn't feel like that, also she doesn't want me to feel oh I feel really sorry for you, you're quite practical. It's been quite hard.''

Tor said that miscarriage should be more widely spoken about.

She said, ''Every time I tell people about it, I knew people that had one or two miscarriages, but I didn't know anyone that had three, so when it came to our third it hit home so much.''

She added, ''When I tell people they're so shocked they can't believe it. No one really knows much about miscarriages so I was at home and I thought I need to talk about it somehow so I wrote it down and then I thought Instagram is the place where I have the most followers.''

Tor posted on social media about what she went through and says it has been so therapeutic.

Her future plans include trying again to get pregnant.

She revealed, ''We're having tests done at the moment, I'm definitely going to go straight back into it and try again. But it definitely leaves you scared and you overthink everything, but obviously in the back of your mind is it gonna happen again.''

We wish her every success and hope that her speaking out will open up conversations for other women who are dealing with the heartbreak of miscarriage.
