Singer Lily Allen has revealed that she nearly died after she lost her first child with husband Sam Cooper in November 2010.
The 28-year-old, who was six months pregnant at the time of the miscarriage, was left fighting for her life due to blood poisoning.
Speaking for the first time about the ordeal, she told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I nearly died. But I was so numb and I didn’t care. I’d just lost my baby and that is how numb I was.’
Lily who was rushed to hospital with septicaemia admitted: ‘It’s something that I still haven’t dealt with. I will never get over it. I have dealt with it, you know as being at one with it. But it’s not something you get over.'
‘I held my child and it was really horrific and painful – one of the hardest things that can happen to a person.’
Following a successful operation Lily was able to physically recover and went on to have two daughters - Ethel, two and Marnie, one.
A miscarriage is one of the hardest things a woman can go through. Not only does it wreck you emotionally, but your body is effected as well. Poor thing, my respect for has gone up tenfold.
I can't even imagine. To carry a baby for so long worrying about both it's health and your own so intently for 9 months only to wind up in that circumstance... awful.
sadd..
