Vogue Williams has revealed she suffered two miscarriages before she fell pregnant with her fourth child.
The presenter and her husband Spencer Matthews shared the happy news on Thursday that they are set to welcome another child to their family.
Vogue spoke about her pregnancy for the first time in a new video posted on her YouTube channel, telling her followers she felt like ‘her body had failed her’ when she suffered her baby loss.
She said that while she and Spencer are grateful to be pregnant again, the miscarriages have made her ‘nervous’ during her fourth pregnancy.
Vogue shared that her first miscarriage was ‘really upsetting,’ but she and Spencer went on to welcome their daughter Gigi in 2020.
She said they then suffered further heartache last year when she went for a 12-week scan, only to be told it ‘wasn’t really a pregnancy’ as the embryo hadn’t grown.
Vogue Williams has revealed she suffered two miscarriages before she fell pregnant with her fourth child, including one ‘awful and heartbreaking’ loss a year ago
She and Spencer said they were ‘really embarrassed’ and ‘upset’ by the second loss, and she admitted she felt like ‘her body had failed her.’
Spencer shared: ‘We’re so happy. We feel very… harder this time round to get to where we wanted.
‘Definitely more bumps in the road in order to actually get pregnant, but obviously we feel really fortunate anyway to have three kids, but this one’s been harder to get to that, well this bit the announcing, but also just to actually get to where we wanted to be, has been been rough.’
Vogue then opened up about her first miscarriage, sharing: ‘It happened to me before I had Gigi. It was so early on, like so so early on. I we hadn’t had any scans. We hadn’t had anything like that.
‘I must have been maybe a month if even, and it was just one of those things and it was it was it was awful, but it was everything happened quite quickly after it as well.
‘So, I never really kind of thought about it much. It was really upsetting at the time, but then I was pregnant quite quickly after, but it actually happened to me last year as well. And it was just I was literally about to tell the kids.
‘I was about to you could kind of start telling I was three months and I just I just didn’t go for an early scan. I just never even thought about it because I kind of didn’t want to make a fuss – stupid now!’
‘I went to the 12 week scan on my own, I told quite a few people about it, like my parents, my brother, and my sister, and some people at work. And I just hadn’t told the kids.’
Vogue shared that when she visited the hospiral for the 12-week scan, she immediately noted the concern from her doctor.
She explained: ‘And basically what had happened was, he had the pregnancy sack. I forget what the whole thing was called, but basically the embryo hadn’t grown, my body still thought it was pregnant.
‘And usually you just naturally get a miscarriage, but I didn’t. It just kept like it would have eventually happened, but it just didn’t at the time.
‘I was three months along and she was just like, “I’m really sorry, it’s just it’s not it’s not really a pregnancy and you’re going to have to get well, there’s a couple of options.’
‘So the very nice people at Chelsea and Westminster NHS, thank you so much. They were really amazing with it.
‘Obviously when I found out I was like ”I just don’t want to have to feel pregnant anymore” because it was awful feeling it and not being it, because I still had the symptoms.
‘I was just like I just need to I just want to like start again and just like not have to deal with it.
‘We were really upset. I was really upset. Stupidly I felt like embarrassed having to tell everybody, and it’s not an embarrassing thing but that was just an emotion I had.
‘I was really upset and then I felt like ”oh God I have to now tell everybody who I’ve told” and I just feel like stupid, like my body has kind of failed me kind of thing.
‘And then I went in to the doctor and they said, “Well, we could give you tablets, but like I was going to Spain at the end of the week and I was just like, ”I just don’t want to have to change all that for the kids and for myself and I don’t want to be stuck here on my own and I just want to be done.”
So they offered me a DNC as swell, which you go in, you have an operation. It’s really quick. So I went in and I did that and it was really quick and then the whole thing was just like, I was so happy to be going away because at least then I didn’t have to be like I was kind of able to just be on my own in my own thoughts and be able to think about it.
‘I wasn’t sure if I was going to say it now, but I’m going to be just I feel like this this pregnancy now I’m just always going to be, I’m always nervous like and sometimes I’m grateful that I feel so sick all the time because then I know it’s there and it’s what it should be.
‘But yeah, I just thought that I would tell that story and hopefully it helps other people who that happens to and there can be light at the tunnel.’
