Dr Zoe Williams Reveals Two Early Miscarriages on This Morning

Her confession highlights how isolating early pregnancy loss can be, prompting calls for more open discussion.

Overview

  • Dr Zoe Williams disclosed on Thursday’s This Morning that she experienced two miscarriages at about ten weeks, including one that unfolded live on the studio sofa.
  • She appeared alongside Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington and her husband, Andy Parsons, as part of an effort to destigmatize miscarriage through personal testimony.
  • Adlington recounted losing her daughter Harper at 20 weeks in 2023, describing profound grief, self-blame and feeling that she 'hated' her body afterward.
  • Parsons revealed he broke down at work after a miscarriage and that counselling, which he initially resisted, proved crucial to his recovery.
  • The ITV segment cited Tommy’s and NHS data showing roughly one in five UK pregnancies ends in miscarriage and emphasized the importance of open dialogue and support services.
