Overview

  • Edwards spoke on the We Need To Talk podcast, describing the 24-week loss as the worst day of her life and an out-of-body experience.
  • She said her first miscarriage occurred very early in her first pregnancy before welcoming her son, Axel, in 2021, whom she calls her rainbow baby.
  • The second pregnancy was discovered during rehearsals for Little Mix’s final tour in 2022, when she experienced heavy bleeding yet continued performing.
  • A scan around 22 weeks raised concerns, and she said the baby was lost at about 24 weeks after she and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had begun preparing for the nursery.
  • Edwards noted that only immediate friends and family knew of the pregnancy at the time, and she recounted the emotional shock and grief as they returned home from the hospital.
