Overview
- Speaking on Verissimo on January 10, Fico gave her first in-depth account since partner Armando Izzo announced the loss in mid-December.
- She said her membranes ruptured prematurely and she underwent about five hours of labor, repeatedly asking to hear the fetal heartbeat.
- Doctors have not identified a cause; Fico relayed that an infection is considered possible but unproven, and her gynecologist was described as shocked.
- She recalled that a medical exam three days before the event found no issues and that at five months there was no way to save the baby.
- Fico said she feels traumatized, is not ready to try for another pregnancy, and is focusing on caring for her daughter Pia with support from Izzo.
