EXCLUSIVE: Sportswoman Rebecca Adlington shares her recovery from sepsis and kidney failure after a harrowing year, as she and husband Andy continue to process their baby loss
A year on from suffering the agonising loss of what would have been her third child, Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington admits that the immeasurable heartbreak has made her reluctant to try for another baby.
“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.” “It was really scary because I felt so ill,” Rebecca explains. “Andy was an angel and did absolutely everything. My parents looked after the kids and they all rallied around, but it took some time to come to terms with everything.”
“But you’ve got all this pressure to protect something – this delicate being, this precious, special, incredible baby – for nine months, and it just seemed crazy because I’ve done it twice before and been absolutely fine.” The former I’m A Celebrity star worries about how the impact of dealing with grief will have their children, but says she and Andy have become accustomed to putting on a brave face.
