Vogue Williams has been praised by fans after she opened up about suffering a miscarriage last year.
The soon-to-be mum-of-four revealed that she was pregnant last month and shortly after, she told her vlog viewers that she had suffered two miscarriages – the most recent being less than a year ago.
While she was not comfortable speaking about the loss at the time, she is now speaking about it in public and being praised by fans for her candour.
Vogue Williams opens up about miscarriage
Recently speaking to her husband Spencer Matthews’ friend Jamie Laing, Vogue revealed the complicated feelings she had after experiencing her pregnancy loss, and so many women can relate.
Sharing her experience in a conversation on Jamie’s Great Company podcast, Vogue said that she felt like her body had ‘failed’ her.
‘The reason I spoke about [the miscarriage] was because I remember when it happened, not that I wanted it to happen to other people, but seeing other people talk about it, I was like, OK, it’s because you just feel like your whole body just failed. You’re on your own,’ she told Jamie.
‘And like “I can’t believe [this]. Why me? Why me?” But why not you? Because it happens all the time.’
She acknowledged that other people have had miscarriageds at later stages than her and with that in mind, she tried to move on. ‘I’ve had friends that have had extremely late miscarriages, and I look at that and I’m like, that would be the most difficult thing in the world. So you just kind of have to move forward with this,’ she explained.
Vogue added that she decided not to speak about her loss at the time, wanting to keep it private, and even now, she finds it hard to discuss. ‘I didn’t speak about it at the time at all. And then only now, but even with this pregnancy, I was like, I just don’t want to say it,’ she said.
Fans praise Vogue
Fans praised Vogue for speaking out about the miscarriage, as it is something that impacts so many women. ‘ Thank you for speaking out about your experience,’ someone commented.
‘Thank you for sharing awareness,’ said someone else while a third wrote: ‘Vogue thank you for being so honest.’
Vogue revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage last July, discovering the heartbreaking news during her 12 week scan.
‘I was 3 months along, and I didn’t go for an early scan. I just never even thought about it because I didn’t want to make a fuss,’ she explained on her YouTube channel.
‘So I was [like] “I’m having all the symptoms. I know I am pregnant. I’ll leave it to the 12 week scan,” and I went to the scan on my own,’ Vogue recalled.
The week before they were set to go on holiday, Vogue discovered that she had a missed misscarriage. ‘Basically, I had the pregnancy sack, but basically the embryo hadn’t grown, so my body still thought it was pregnant.’
‘Usually, you just naturally get a miscarriage, but I didn’t. The doctor was like, “I’m really sorry. It’s not really a pregnancy.”‘
