Welsh TV presenter Alex Jones has opened up about 'the bottom dropping out' of her and husband, Charlie Thomson's world as she opened up about her 2017 miscarriage on her new show Alex Jones: Making Babies. In the show, Alex is training to be a fertility assistant at one of the most prestigious fertility clinics in the UK, King’s Fertility London.
After meeting a couple on the show who become successfully pregnant through IVF but then tragically suffer a heart-breaking miscarriage, Alex reflects on losing her own baby. Talking to the camera Alex becomes emotional as she says she will always remember the baby's due date and said finding out she had miscarried felt like "the bottom had dropped out of our world".
She said: "The sonographer suddenly went really quiet and then she simply said 'I'm very sorry but there is no heart beat' and at that moment it felt like the bottom had dropped out of our world, it was horrific." Becoming emotional Alex said: "Like anybody does when you find out you are pregnant you often work out your due date when that date comes around...I always think of the little baby...because really there were four not three."

Alex and her husband Charlie Thomson are parents to three children, Teddy, five, Kit, three and one-year-old Annie. Alex has been open about her and the family's sad loss in 2017, talking about her miscarriage previously Alex explained they didn't have a "straightforward time" while trying for a second baby after the birth of her first child Teddy.
Speaking on Lorraine, she said: "We didn't have a straightforward time, between the two boys, we had a loss then and quite late on and then it resulted in some complications. I didn't go down the IVF route, we thought we might have to but we didn't in the end."
She also told The Telegraph that she was back working on TV an hour after doctors told her she'd had a miscarriage. Although her bosses said that Alex did not need to return to work she was back on TV within an hour of finding out that she had a miscarriage. She said: "I said, 'What else am I going to do?' It’s a horrible feeling because it is so empty. There’s nothing to say. It’s done."
Alex Jones: Making Babies will continue airing on W Channel on Thursdays at 8pm. You can catch-up with the series on UKTV Play.
