Perrie Edwards Speaks Out About Pregnancy Loss For The First Time

Perrie EdwardsPerrie Edwards has spoken for the first time about her experiences of pregnancy loss.The former Little Mix singer recently sat down for an extensive interview with YouTube personality Paul C Brunson on his channel We Need To Talk, where she shared that Axel, the four-year-old son she shares with fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, is a “rainbow baby” (a term used to describe a baby born after a previous pregnancy loss).She explained: “I had a miscarriage very early on with my first ever pregnancy, and it was so early. I remember finding out I was pregnant.“Obviously, I started bleeding not long after, and I went to the hospital and I had the scan and they were like, ‘There’s no baby’.”Perrie later got pregnant again with her son, Axel, who was born in August 2021, shortly before Little Mix underwent their final tour.“When I was pregnant with him, like, I loved being pregnant, it was one of the happiest times of my life,” Perrie said. “Like, I just love carrying babies. And it was lovely.“But I was a bit on edge thinking, ‘oh, gosh, like, I want to get past the 12 weeks. I want to get past this’. And when I [got] past every scan, that pregnancy was complete bliss, it was perfect.”Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Perrie Edwards at the 2019 Brit AwardsPerrie then went on to disclose that she experienced another miscarriage shortly after Axel was born“We fell pregnant again after,” the Forget About Us singer explained. “Maybe a year [after] and probably not even. Actually, yeah. Not even a year, because Axel wasn’t even walking yet and we were pregnant.“I found out when I was rehearsing for the Little Mix tour, the last Little Mix tour. I was at rehearsals and I thought, ‘oh, I don’t feel good’. Every symptom under the sun. I was like, ‘I think I’m pregnant’.“And then we went for what was a 20-week scan, but we were actually 22 weeks, and that was just the worst day of my life. Like horrendous. I just knew something was wrong in the scan, and he just kept going over the same thing, over the same thing... I’ve never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion.“So then I remember sobbing. [Alex] was injured at the time and he couldn’t really drive. He was struggling to drive, but I couldn’t see straight. I was just distraught. And yeah, we basically lost the baby at like 24 weeks.”Perrie continued: “It’s weird because the first time it happened, I think because it was so early, I was like, ‘oh, that’s hard’. But I think when you’re fully, like carrying in your 24 weeks and you’ve planned out like that room and all these things, it’s really hard.”Watch Perrie’s interview on We Need To Talk below:Perrie has been with her partner Alex since 2017, with the couple announcing their engagement in 2022.She and her Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock famously welcomed children the same month as each other, when they were still part of the chart-topping girl group.Help and support:Sands works to support anyone affected by the death of a baby.Tommy’s fund research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, and provide pregnancy health information to parents.Saying Goodbye offers support for anyone who has suffered the loss of a baby during pregnancy, at birth or in infancy.READ MORE:Perrie Edwards Admits She's Still Moved To Tears By Jesy Nelson RiftMeghan Markle Shares Rare Insight Into Learning To 'Let Go' After MiscarriageBaby Loss Certificates Remind Us That Talking About Miscarriage Shouldn't Be A Taboo
