Chris Ramsey and his wife Rosie have been left devastated after suffering a miscarriage.
The 32-year-old comedian’s spouse – with whom he already has a young son, Robin – took to Instagram on Monday (13.08.18) to reveal the heartbreaking news that she found out she had suffered an anembryonic pregnancy (a missed miscarriage) early on in her pregnancy at their 12-week scan last week.
Not only did the couple lose their little one, but they had to go through a traumatic few days as she had the placenta and sac removed.
However, the procedure didn’t go to plan, despite "five rounds of tablets" over 20 hours, which meant she had to have them surgically removed.
Rosie shared: "Good morning.
Apologies for our silence across our social media’s this week, it’s safe to say we’ve had a pretty sh*tty one.
Last week we thought we would be sharing some lovely news with you all but sadly that was not to be.
When we went for our 12 week scan our baby could not be found. He or she had passed early on in the pregnancy leaving behind the pregnancy sac, this is called a Blighted Ovum. (missed miscarriage) My body still thought I was pregnant for all those weeks after the baby had passed, hormones were released and everything apart from the baby was still growing.
I’d never heard of this before so as you can imagine it all came as a great shock. .
Unfortunately it didn’t all end there as we were told I still needed to have a miscarriage to rid my body of the sac, placenta etc.
I was admitted into hospital a few days later to start the procedure. .
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.
I was then taken to surgery to have everything removed.
It is now finally all over… (sic)"
Rosie says she is "blessed" to have had the support of the ‘Celebrity Juice’ star – who she has been married to since 2014 – and said she wanted to share her story to help other women who have gone through the same tragedy.
She added: "I know it is going to take time to come to terms with all of this, I feel emotionally and physically exhausted. I have so much sympathy for other couples who have/are going through this as I never knew it entailed so much heartache.
Robin has been wonderful through it all and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives.
Thank you so much for all your messages of concern, I’ve read them all just didn’t know how to respond x
I was unsure of whether to even put this on social media as not many people knew about our pregnancy, but I need to hear from other women this has happened to, it needs to be talked about in order to heal. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, 1 IN 4! I didn’t realise it was that many. People can’t go through this experience in silence or alone, it’s just too painful. . (sic)"
Chris reposted the message on his own account, hailing his wife a "warrior".
He added: "Reposted this from my wife’s insta. This it says it all. She’s been a warrior. (sic)"
