Overview
- Last month Crosby posted on Instagram that she and fiancé Jake Ankers had learned they were pregnant, shared a six-weeks-five-days scan showing a heartbeat, and later at an eight-week scan were told the baby's heart had stopped.
- This is Crosby's second silent or missed miscarriage in five months after she revealed a previous loss in May, and she says the couple are devastated and uncertain about next steps.
- Crosby described the emotional impact as feeling like her heart had been 'ripped' out and said she has focused on supporting their daughters Alba and Pixi through the grief.
- Health guidance cited in coverage explains a silent miscarriage produces no outward symptoms and is usually identified only by ultrasound during routine scans.
- The Independent listed support contacts for pregnancy loss, including the Miscarriage Association helpline on 01924 200799 and Tommy’s helpline on 0800 0147 800, for readers seeking help.
