Myleene Klass recalls feeling 'terror' during pregnancy with son after four miscarriages

Myleene Klass has opened up on the constant feeling of "terror" she faced during her pregnancy with son Apollo, prior to his birth in 2019, after she and her partner Simon Motson experienced baby loss.

The musician and radio host sadly suffered four miscarriages before welcoming Apollo.

Myleene opens up on her experience with baby loss and discusses the taboo over miscarriage in a new documentary, Myleene Klass: Miscarriage and Me, which airs on channel W this Thursday.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on her show on Wednesday morning, she revealed how she hoped for more education and for more to be said about baby loss, initially unaware herself how many different types of miscarriage there was.

Host Lorraine opened up on her own heartbreaking miscarriage over 20 years ago, and confessed people tried to comfort her but it made her ordeal worse.

But she praised Myleene's comments in the documentary about her own experiences, as Lorraine told her she said it how it should be said.

It's then that she asked Myleene about her pregnancy with her son Apollo, and whether she could enjoy the experience without worrying.

Myleene, who also has two daughters from a previous relationship named Ava and Hero, explained that she couldn't relax as there was a feeling of "terror" throughout.

She revealed: "No [I couldn't]. Well I think any woman who has experienced this will know the feeling of just terror.

"At every given moment, you think in your scan they're gonna tell you, 'I'm sorry, there's no heartbeat'. You'll hear those words again. You think if you go to the loo there will be blood. You think I mustn't lift that, but I have to carry on with my life.

"You suddenly start putting all of these pressures on you, and ultimately at the end of it there is nothing you can do but hope."

Myleene hopes to open up the conversation on baby loss with her new programme, with host Lorraine praising her.

She also discussed the "negative" language around miscarriage and trauma, and said that this language needed to be changed.

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.
