The Olympic swimmer lost her daughter, who she and her husband named Harper, at 20-weeks pregnant in October last year. It was her second miscarriage in two years.
Rebecca Adlington has welcomed the lifting of restrictions on baby loss certificates, saying her own has helped 'bring home that is part of the family'. The Olympic swimmer lost her baby daughter, who she and her husband named Harper, at 20-weeks pregnant in October 2023. It was Adlington's second miscarriage in as many years, and she has since become an ambassador for baby loss counselling charity Petals.
'It was something we absolutely wanted to have because we don't have many things around the house that make her feel part of the family, and she is part of the family. 'It really kind of brings it home that she is part of the family. My kids know, they always say 'Harper's my sister'.' While the certificates 'are not going to take away the pain… they're so fundamental to make part of your life', she continued.
