Gemma Collins, while unaare pf her pregnancy, has suffered a third miscarriage.
The 39-year-old reality star – who suffers from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – has difficulties falling pregnant, and she has been open about her experiences.
In an open letter to Duchess Meghan – who recently revealed she had suffered her own miscarriage earlier this year – posted by The Sun Online, Gemma said:
“I was on my own at the time, like many of us in lockdown, and for days I just tried to push on until one day I broke down on the phone to my sister and she forced me to ring a doctor.
“The doctor sent me to hospital where they told me that I’d had a miscarriage.
“In a single instant, I learned that I’d been carrying a baby and lost it, meaning that once again I found my longstanding dreams of motherhood shattered into pieces.”
Gemma also opened up on her pregnancy struggles, and admitted while she is worried she won’t be able to have a baby, she knows she will be a great parent.
She added: “On bad days, I worry that those lost pregnancies were my only chance of motherhood.
“At the same time, I am trying to trust in Fate. I know I can give a baby a brilliant life – a life a world away from the world of ‘GC’, the larger-than-life character that most of the public know, and when my time to be a mother comes, I will do everything I can to protect the privacy of that cherished prize I have yearned for for so long.”
The ‘Diva Forever’ star previously revealed she’s open to using a sperm bank or adopting if it means she can realise her dream of motherhood.
Asked about a sperm bank, she explained:
“My lovely gay besties have all put themselves up for the job. But yeah, there’s that option. You know I’ve got my nephews and I treat them like my own.
“But do you know what, if I had to go down that route I will do it. I’ve got no qualms in that. I’m very open and honest. I will have a baby and I do want a baby.
And also, every mother will know this, I want to feel motherhood… I’ve not had the physical experience of being a full time mum.
“I don’t want that robbed from me in my life, that would be a travesty. There’s so many good options out there, like adoption.
Madonna’s done it, Angelina Jolie, The GC could be next. I do hold onto that dream that I will be able to conceive naturally and be the mum and give all the love I’ve got.”
