The Olympian said her baby daughter was born stillborn at 20 weeks after medical staff tragically discovered no heartbeat
Olympian and TV star Rebecca Adlington has announced the heartbreaking news that her baby daughter was sadly stillborn.
"We held her, and had time with her. We will forever love her and remember her always." After praising the staff at Wythenshawe, Rebecca continued: "I don't have the strength or words right now and don't feel ready to share this news. "We are so truly heartbroken. Our beautiful girl. Rest in peace," she added. Fans and friends were quick to comfort the star after the heartbreaking revelation on Sunday night.
Myleen Klass added: "I’m so sorry. Thinking of you, your family and Harper x." As singer Sophie Ellis Bextor wrote: "I’m so sorry. Xxx." It was last year that Rebecca suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage and had to undergo emergency surgery. "Especially when people start asking every single month, ‘Are you pregnant?’ I don’t want to deal with that while working full-time and having two kids. If it happens, it happens. If not, it’s not meant to be." Rebecca shared the news of her miscarriage with her followers on Instagram at the time, describing their loss as a 'devastating time' for her family.
